Great book. Wish I had purchased this farther in advance of my trip. It includes key information about when different trails open, and had I purchased this sooner, I may have adjusted the dates of my trip. Using websites for travel info is great, but the benefit of using a book is you get a holistic set of recommendations from the same source. With the kind of money you spend on vacations, why not spend $15 or $20 getting a travel guide to help ensure you have an amazing trip... Well worth it!
Best guidebook available. Clear sections for each area of the national parks and surrounding towns made it quick and easy to use. I skimmed the book repeatedly before our trip to help with planning then reviewed the specifics many times during our stay. Trail maps and descriptions were particularly helpful when deciding which trail to attempt with our two small children and 70 year old mother. Very pleased with this guidebook. I am donating it to our local library after successfully using it on our Yellowstone and Jackson Hole vacation because this book is far superior to the guidebooks available at our local library.
Good information about the parks, but... News flash; most people drive most or all of the time. This book seems to assume everyone is hiking all the time. Even for those who are hikers, this is not organized in the easiest way to grasp.For some hikers this will be a good book.
We are planning a trip to Yellowstone next week and everything I have been trying to look up on line is just confusing me! Where to go, what to eat, where to camp.... We already made camping reservations months ago,along with hotel reservation, so we knew that part... but as far as what to see,what hikes to take, I was really torn until I got this book. I now have a great idea based on the info in this book. Easy to use index, it gives you itinerary to use based on time available, what hikes in every area, how long they take, difficulty of hikes and lots and lots of tips on how to make your experience personalized for you! Even includes average costs of restaurants and hotels. Highly recommend! Cant wait to go and put this little guide to work!
Great guide book to plan a Jackson Hole/ Teton/ Yellowstone trip. Although, we used it more while on our trip to read about places we visited & to make choices for hikes, detours, etc. while we were there.
Great guide to Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks. If there is something you want to do in the parks (whether it is by car, hike, whatever) it is in this book. If your going, I highly recommend getting this guide.
Great information, succinct and to the point. Great pictures as well.
Took this book along with me on a long trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Everything in the book was on point and very very accurate. A must have if you are visiting this part of America!
