        I believe that the set you mention has 20-foot contours. If that's the
case, then a better choice would be the DeLorme "TOPO-USA, version 2.0 or
higher if available". That set is of six CD-ROMs or just a single DVD-CD
and covers the entire USA including Alaska and Hawaii down to 20-foot
contours as extracted from the USGS 15-minute topographical maps. Then, all
you need to do is to locate the National Park of interest and work with it
as you desire.

        The price from various software houses is under $100.
