Product Description
The first and oldest national park in the world can be enjoyed mile by mile with this complete travel guide. Along with fascinating facts and anecdotes, readers will learn of Yellowstone's geyser basins and the frequency of the geysers, out-of-the-way hikes, and flora and fauna. Easy-to-understand scientific explanations and diagrams complement an array of short walks, the right season for camping, and the park’s campgrounds and facilities. Updated road logs highlight more than 100 historical points of interest, including the often misidentified locale from which artist Thomas Moran painted his “Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” masterpiece and where five stagecoach robberies occurred along the Grand Loop Road. New text examines areas that have changed in recent years, including the reconstructed Canyon-to-Dunraven Pass and the newly completed North Rim Drive at the Grand Canyon. Additionally, numerous new photographs feature historical and contemporary images. |

million dollar book on a blue collar budget by Ronita (North Carolina) 5 Stars
October 26, 2009
This book is fabulous. I've traveled to Yellowstone twice and just bought this book after returning home. I bought it because it was sugessted on a travel web site, and I have enjoyed reading it almost daily. I am currently using it as a nice review of places I have been and as a resource to plan a trip for 2010. It has everything:history,geology, maps, an endless array of photos,travel suggestions, brief narratives of the geysers and hot springs, and even information about the wildlife you are sure to see in the area. I especially like the the way the book is broken down into regional areas with small maps and descriptions of individual places. I took 2 books with me on my last trip which lacked alot of useful information which this book includes. Next year, this will be the only book I plan to take on my trip back to Yellowstone. For the price you pay, this book is priceless. Kudos to the author, Janet Chapple, for writing such an informative travel book.

Don't go to Yellowstone without it by Tina Castleberry (Franklin, Kentucky) 5 Stars
October 09, 2009
This book was extremely helpful during our visit to Yellowstone. It had items listed as must see's that were just that. It would also be useful for planning purposes but we didn'y buy it until the week before we were leaving for our trip. I would say this was money well spent.

Yellowstone Treasures: The Traveler's Companion to the National Park by Philip O. Cardaci (Charlotte, North Carolina USA) 5 Stars
October 04, 2009
The best word to describe this book is, "thorough." It's hard to imagine that there's anything significant about Yellowstone that isn't covered and I can only imagine that there are very few pertient details that aren't included. The text's information is complete and rich, the maps are user-friendly, clear and attractive and the photos serve as the icing on the cake. The author clearly has command of the topic in addition to an obvious enthusiasm, which is evident throughout the book, and only lends itself to the enjoyment of reading and using the book.
