Customer Reviews

• August 17, 2010Grand Teton and Yellowstone's best tips

  This book was really helpful planning our recent 26 day trip to Jackson Hole, Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Restaurant and lodging info was good. Park highlights and detailed directions for trail heads were included. Maps are very good also. Good book overall.

• July 11, 2010Planning a trip

  This book is an outstanding addition to our pre-vacation travel plans. Each time one of us picks it up and browses through it something new pops up in things we need to make time to see. It has added to our excitement about the upcoming trip.

• June 13, 2010Inaccurate Data

  The basic amenities chart for Yellowstone campgrounds on page 147 contains much inaccurate or incomplete data. Total sites = No or Yes??? Toilets = yes for all, not which have flush or vault toilets. Showers = yes for all, which is certainly not correct. When such basic information is incorrect, the entire book becomes suspect.

• June 9, 2010Useful and well organized

  I purchased the Yellowstone and Teton guide recently for a vactaion to Wyoming and found the guide highly useful. The organization and format worked well with our trip.
  The only thing one should understand about this book is that the order of the sights is in a specific sequence (for example Yellowstone is sequenced in a clockwise fashion) which can be difficult to manage should you work the park in a reverse order as we did in some sections.
  
  Also, while the popular sites in the parks are well covered, some of the more obscure side roads (if you like to go off road as I did) are not covered.
  
  Overall I would characterize this as a must have to tour these two parks.

• June 6, 2010Great guide!

  Of the guides I have either bought or checked out from the library, this is my favorite. It's packed with information and small enough to carry around in the car or backpack. I checked it out from the library, then bought it! Moons guide is also pretty good... and of course, any of the Falcon guides. Falcon's can be quite specific by topic. Frommer's is a great overall guide to the whole park. I may change my mind after I actually visit Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons this summer, but for right now, I like the completeness of this guide.
