The Backpacker
http://www.thebackpacker.com
A site with attitude, The Backpacker aptly describes itself as a "true, down and dirty, gritty, unsanitary, blood pouring, sweat falling, peak bagging, Internet page." There are great graphics, useful product information, and entertaining trip diaries. The Trail Talk section is full of useful tips on such matters as how to make your toilet paper take up less space in your pack. The only drawback is that the editor is frequently out in the bushes, so updates are irregular. Yahoo Internet Life, 4 Star Review, August 5, 1996

ParkNet: National Park Service (NPS) Web site
http://www.nps.gov/
The United States Department of the Interior has recently opened its National Park Service (NPS) Web site, offering listings of all 376 U.S. national parks, monuments, historical sites, memorials, and other designations by name, state, or region -- although state and regional access is limited to clickable maps only at this time. Each NPS site provides varying quantities of information. "Preserving America's Heritage" contains exhaustive information about natural resources and history in the parks, as well as educational resources related to the NPS. "Caring for the American Legacy" has useful information about the
NPS, including the nomenclature of the National Park System Units located under "What is the National Park System?". There is also a "Hot Topics" section of NPS issues. Although the "Search the National Parks by Theme" section is in an immature state at present, watch for it to improve, making access to specific information even easier.
