Bad Book -- You Can Do Better by W. Gwinn (Nashville, TN)  1 Stars
August 05, 2009
The format of this book made it almost worthless. It is a narrative text for designated drives. You cannot use it for shopping which sights you want to see. Fortunately, we purchased more than one book for our trip. We recommend Frommer's Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks, which we used very heavily. It is now full of underlines, notes, and highlights, and it is a good souvenir. We threw Scenic Driving away; it was not worth the trouble to send back to Amazon.

Yellowstone driving book by Lynn Fordham (Arizona)  2 Stars
January 19, 2009
We didn't find this book very helpful because it included most of the drives outside of Yellowstone. All of the roads inside Yellowstone lead to very specific areas and are clearly marked, a book isn't necessary for driving ideas.

Steer away by Amy (Washington) 2 Stars
June 13, 2008
After reading the reviews for this book, I purchased it as I went on a quick tour through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I was very disappointed. The trips are listed from point-to-point around the Grand Loop. However, if you are driving the loop in the opposite direction, the book is very difficult to follow. It doesn't give driving distances for the points of interest. The book gives an estimated driving time from one (i.e. Mammoth to Old Faithful) to another, and mentions some points of interest along the way, but the reader is left to guess where along the drive it might be.
Be aware that the park access fees have changed since the book was printed. Other than that, I did not notice any major discrepancies.
Another minor gripe is that none of the pictures are in color, but are clearly color photos printed to black and white. For the price of the book, they should be in color; heck, even the Lonely Planet series uses color pictures. If not using artistic or color photos, I'd rather have more substance to the book itself.
I always travel with multiple guides and was glad that I did, especially for the Yellowstone portion of the trip, and would recommend the "Yellowstone Treasures Travelers Companion" instead. It had the same or more information than this book, listed mileage to each point of interest from either direction, and had color photos.

I used this guide extensively on a 3-day drive through both parks. It's packed with information and is well written and organized. Highly recommended.
