Leave the crowds behind and experience your own Yellowstone. by Robert E. Kuhar (Seattle, WA)  5 Stars
September 05, 2008
There is so much more to Yellowstone than can be seen from the roads and boardwalks. "A Ranger's Guide to Yellowstone Day Hikes" guides you to trail heads you may not find on your own and out into the park revealing the incredible diversity that is unique to YNP. Each hike is rated for difficulty and the ratings are generally accurate. The book fits easily into a day pack and the topo maps let you know what you're getting into elevation wise before you set off. I strongly recommend that you include this book in your planning of a Yellowstone adventure.

Day hikes in Yellowstone by R. LeGrand (North East) 5 Stars
July 23, 2008
This guide was a birthday gift along with "Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks Road Guide." We used the two of these books nonstop during our nine days in the park. This book offers acurate information regarding the trails and rankings. Understand that not ALL trails are listed. I picked up "Best Easy Day Hikes Yellowstone" but it's trail rankings were not as acurate. If you are purchasing one book on trail hiking in Yellowstone, use this one.

The Bible of Yellowstone Hiking Books by Panky2 (Portland, OR USA) 5 Stars
July 03, 2008
We have been hiking the National Parks in the West for almost 20 years and this is the most valuable trail book I own. The information on each trail is completely accurate with respect to distances, maps, directions, etc., and the naturalist notes are very informational. We have completed 75% of the hikes in this book and have enjoyed every single one - some have even been done two or more times. The book is small enough to carry in a fanny pack. I have thrown away all of my other Yellowstone hiking books as this has become affectionately known as "The Bible".

Great Reference by Mike Doyle (Alexandria MN) 5 Stars
June 20, 2008
We bought this book before a trip to Yellowstone with our family. The book was very helpful in helping us find trails that our whole family could do. The pictures and discriptions were very helpful in the planning and telling our kids what to look for.

Great Hikes, Great Notes by Michael L. Shakespeare (Kansas City, MO USA) 5 Stars
March 17, 2008
I tip my Gortex hat to Roger and Carol Shively Anderson for hiking every mile of the trails featured in their book, "A Rangers Guide to Yellowstone Day Hikes." Because they roamed up and down all over America's first national park, their personal experiences and expertise guarantee you will get an accurate description of every trail in their guide.
Their guide's helpful format features notable highlights, a trail route contour map, and parameters. For quick reference, all twenty-nine hikes are organized by: level of difficulty; distance; elevation change; duration; best time of year; trail head; hiking directions; special attention; and naturalist notes.
As you walk along, you may wonder, did famous men like John Muir or Jim Bridger follow this trail? Or what's the difference between granite and rhyolite? The Anderson's marvelous Naturalist Notes are included with many of the hikes -- spotlighting fascinating local history, personal observations, insider tips, and not to be missed opportunities to experience nature.
Are there more hikes near Mammoth Hot Springs or Old Faithful? You will have a general area map of Yellowstone National Park showing the location of each trail head.
Wondering which hikes are too hard? All the trails are broken down in groups of easy, moderate, and strenuous hikes, and which area of the park they are located in. Also listed are round trip mileage and a short highlight description of each. Most hikes average 2-3-4 miles roundtrip.
Hikers new to the area will find four pages of trail tips covering the topics of "What to Bring, Hiking In Bear Country, Wildlife Etiquette, and Lightning."
How do I know the hike is worth doing? The Anderson's have included twenty-nine scenic color plates taken along the featured trails.
Roger and Carol Anderson, also authors of Yellowstone: The Story Behind the Scenery, promise that if you are in reasonably good health, you will see the major scenic highlights and have a great experience with nature in Yellowstone National Park.
