 Great All-Around Reference Manual June 27, 2006

We just got back from our trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks (wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!). This book was GREAT! Everything stated was right on the money, and we loved the compactness of it. It was easy to just throw in a backpack or carry-on. We also liked how the book was set up. It was easy to understand and to navigate. If you're looking for a good general overall book, this is the one for you.
Along with this book, we also purchased the Outdoor Family Guide to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park - it gave a really good and comprehensive explaination of the hikes found in each of the parks.
Recommendation: Don't be turned off by the idea of eating in a "cafeteria" within the park. We tried them twice while on vacation (both in Yellowstone) and were pleasantly surprised. The food was reasonable and quite good! The diningrooms were really nice as well - the one at Old Faithful overlooks the geyser!
If visiting the town of Jackson (which was a bit too riff-raffy for us), check out the Snake River Brewery. The food was reasonable and very good, the beer and service excellent and the best part - no line! Due to it being located "off the beaten track" a bit, though easily within walking distance from the town square, it doesn't get visited by a lot of tourists. If traveling with children (like us), try sitting upstairs. They have some old video games like Astoids and Pacman which allowed us to enjoy our meal and relax while the kids played the games.
Excellent guide with great suggestions November 29, 2006

My family went to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks last June and this guide was a great resource. At the moment, I'm planning another national park trip and pulled the book off the shelf so I could get a guide by the same author.
He marked Signal Mountain Lodge in GT as a "** find" and was it ever! It's managed by a different vendor than the other lodges in the park and I'd stay there again if I return. I used his suggestions for "If you can only go on one hike, do this..." and the suggestions were awesome. The hike to the top of Signal Mountain (most people drive rather than take the 6 mile easy walk) was so beautiful and peaceful that I hiked it a second time before leaving.
This book gave suggestions that you'd expect to get from a friend who has just visited an area and says "Hey let me give you this great tip."
I would definitely recommend this book.
Great Guide Book! August 5, 2009

We purchased three guidebooks for our Yellowstone/Grand Teton vacation and we used this guide the most. It is now full of underlines, notes, and highlights, and it is a good souvenir. The parks are big and you need help in deciding what to see. This book provides the help, with stars and boldface print for the best sights. The ratings are very helpful. In addition, the narratives for driving routes give you easy-to-use guidance.
Excellent book April 18, 2009

This book is such a helpful tool to plan our trip. We don't leave for our trip until June but I am looking forward to it because I feel very prepared. The tips on trails and wildlife watching are going to make my trip so memorable.
Great read - lots of info May 17, 2009

I ordered this book for our trip to Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks. I am very glad that I did. I am traveling with my older parents and this really helped us decide which sites to see. It is a very helpful and imformative book. I recomend it to anyone that is thinking about traveling to Yellowstone.
