Two 3-Packs, Six Iconic Scenes
America’s vast recreational and tourism network goes well beyond the lands featured in our “National Parks" series. It also encompasses expansive monuments, dense forests, breathtaking coastlines, and scenic trail networks. We are excited to expand our offering of memo books celebrating these great American vistas with the first two 3-Packs of our “Explore America” Series: Northern California and the Triple Crown of Hiking.
Stunning illustrations of some of the country’s most picturesque destinations and distinguished challenges feature on the covers of these Memo Books. These first two 3-Packs continue our collaboration with the brilliant artists of The Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series… Choose your next adventure, or collect them all.
Series A 3-Pack:
Northern California
Includes The Big Sur Coast by Shepard Fairey, Muir Woods Nat'l Monument by Glenn Thomas, and Golden Gate Nat'l Rec Area by Chris Turnham.
Series B 3-Pack:
Triple Crown of Hiking
The Appalachian Trail by Benjamin Fluow, Continental Divide Trail by Glenn Thomas, and Pacific Crest Trail by Chris Turnham.
A Closer Look
The covers are printed on 100-lb Mohawk Via cover stock, using a custom, five-color process. The illustrative styles, the printing process, and the copper staples recall the heritage, and archival promotional materials and publications, of the National Park System.
Each book features a brief history of the landmark on its inside back cover, a spot for an official stamp, drawing or memento on the inside front cover, and 48 pages of Domtar Lynx Opaque 60-lb text paper marked with a 3/16" dot-grid to record your plans, routes, notes, and memories.
Breathtaking
These Field Notes are a tribute to places in the U.S.A. that can only truly be appreciated in person. Please visit, enjoy, and support these destinations, along with our National Park System. We hope when you visit your favorite national monument, landmark, or hiking trail, you’ll bring along your new favorite memo book, fill it up, and tag us in your photos.
