What a pleasant surprise by Soule-train (Nashville, TN)  5 Stars
April 01, 2009
We usually use books like this to give us good information on where to eat, sleep, see the usual sights and maybe get a few insider tips. Yet this was especially informative and educational, and after a winter visit to Yellowstone to watch wolves -- a great time to see wildlife, even if it's a little chilly! -- I been following the area's issues with great interest since returning home, in part because of what I learned in this book. After a few days, I looked at buffalo, snowmobiles and wolves through a very different lens! For a guidebook, it's just a very nice read.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and Jackson Hole by Harry Hampton-Anderson (Livingston, MT) 5 Stars
February 26, 2009
This guide by Welsh and Moore is well-organized, intuitive and very useful. It has greatly enriched my travels in the parks and surrounding areas. The directions are clear and concise and the along-the-way points of interest and description of the terrain make the "getting there" a whole lot more fun. With this guide I feel confident in exploring these areas on my own. When time off is precious it is imperative that you have a guide that has done the research for you (so thoroughly) and allows you to make the most of your wanderings. Does anyone know of more guides of this caliber for the Northwest United States?

The right kind of travel guide by Word Jones (Portland, OR USA) 5 Stars
February 25, 2009
I've used plenty of travel guides, and their usefulness comes down to one question I can ask myself when the trip is over: Did I merely find out where to go and what to do, or did I actually learn something I'll remember, and make a connection with the place? I used this guide for a trip through Yellowstone, and it helped me feel I really got to know the park - its history, its environment, its wildlife and its place in our culture. The authors have a true feel - and affection - for the places they describe. I ended up reading about places I wasn't even going to visit, because I felt like I was listening to an insider tell me the good stuff - the background and details that provide a third dimension to a destination. This guide passes the test with flying colors.

Great insights into an extraordinary place! by Travelin' Cornhusker (Omaha) 5 Stars
June 19, 2008
What I like about this book is that while it contains the usual helpful information about where to eat, sleep, shop and see the key sights (and sites), it presents a fascinating look into these two great national parks that are so close together yet so different. It's obvious that the authors spend a great deal of time here and understand the nuances of place. Especially intriguing were the insights into wildlife issues, fire and other important ecological matters, as well as what makes the surrounding communities unique.
What also set this book apart was the attention that Jackson Hole received as an important part of this great vacation landscape.
I read to my husband as we drove through the parks, getting the story behind the story!
