Cuyahoga Valley, National Park: A Photographic Portrait by Ian Adams and Jim Roetzle
Photographers Ian Adams and Jim Roetzel have been
exploring the Cuyahoga Valley through the lens for more than a quarter of a
century, and offer this book as a celebration of the natural and historical
wonders of this precious green space between Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. For
those who know the area well we hope the book will evoke memories of pleasant
times spent in the Cuyahoga Valley, and perhaps reveal a few new ones as well.
For those who have not visited the national park we hope that the book will open
their eyes to the beauty, history, solitude, and recreational opportunities
offered by this northeast Ohio treasure.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) is part of a national movement to establish parks that are readily accessible to city-dwellers. After a vigorous grassroots campaign, Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area was signed into being by President Gerald Ford in December 1974 and in 2000 became Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Stretching between Cleveland and Akron in heavily urbanized northeastern Ohio, CVNP has been called a "Green-Shrouded Miracle," preserving precious green space and offering a retreat to more than 3,200,000 visitors each year. In succinct, readable prose complemented by stunning photographs, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Handbook provides a brief but comprehensive history of the park--the people, the land, the ecology, and the politics that led to its creation. Author Carolyn Platt and staff from CVNP included historic and contemporary photographs and illustrations to enhance this handbook.
