Frommer's Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks (Park Guides)

6 reviews
Eric Peterson

Frommer's, 2008

Excellent guide with great suggestions
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 ...

Janet Chapple

Granite Peak Publications, 2005

Outstanding in depth reference
We used this book in combination with a quick road guide (the National Geographic Road Guide) for a full-featured tour of Yellowstone National Park. This book is FULL of easy-to-read and detailed tidbits about every feature of the Park you'd want to know about. It includes things about geothermal features, wildlife, history, fires, hiking trails, and so much more! It was fun to come across ...

National Geographic Road Guide to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks (NG Road Guides)

Jeremy Schmidt

National Geographic, 2004

Great for quick overview
We used this book quite frequently during our recent vacation to Yellowstone. It provided an excellent quick-reference to the roads and roadside attractions we were approaching. First, we checked which section of road we were on from the map on the inside front cover. That led us to a couple of synopsis pages with brief, accurate highlights. It was very handy for quickly assessing roadside ...

You'll be lost without it!
If it's your first time in Yellow Stone or the Grand Tetons this'll be your bible .. the hikes listed in both places are well presented and with the maps included will help you plan you time in this wonderful part of the world .. The information on where you are likely to spot animals is really useful - Elk, Bison, Moose and Bear ... all accurate! The highlights and intineraries suggested helped ...

Avalon Travel Publishing, 2006

A Comprehensive and Engagingly Personal Guide to Two of America's Most Special Places
If you're planning an extended visit to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, I highly recommend this guidebook. (If you're only going to visit the Parks for three or four days as part of a longer trip, however, it's probably more detail than you would need.) We recently visited the two Parks for a total of twelve days, and I found this Guide extremely helpful. Unusually for a guidebook, ...

Photographer's Guide to Yellowstone and the Tetons

Joseph K. Lange

Stackpole Books, 2000

Right-on, comprehensive
A caveat: I am a total amateur who takes pictures only during the one or two annual vacations using very simple equipment! I just came back after 5 days at YS and GT parks. I was very impressed by how accurate Joseph's suggestions were -- in terms of the preferred times, angles and such to take pictures from. For example, Joseph had suggested taking pictures of the Old Faithful NOT from the ...

Photographing Yellowstone National Park: Where to Find the Perfect Shots and How to Take Them

1 review
Gustav W. Verderber

Countryman, 2007

Save time; take better vacation snapshots
Gustav Verderber was right on the money about everything in this book. If you only have a week to explore, save yourself some time and follow his instructions. He has mapped out when the rainbows appear on the falls, gives advice on where to photograph wildlife. Some of the trails he mentions in his book have since been closed due to erosion or wildlife management but if you talk with the Park ...

Top Trails Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks: Must-Do Hikes for Everyone (Top Trails)

Andrew Dean Nystrom

Wilderness Press, 2006

great hiking guide
We spent a week in the Yellowstone and hike everyday - this guide helps us as a lot to find what is the best for each day. We easily found the way how to get to the trails and we never lost our way. This book is definitely very useful for everybody going to the Yellowstone (or Grand Teton) not to stay on road but enjoy hiking.

Scenic Driving Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, 2nd (Scenic Driving Series)

Susan Springer Butler

Falcon, 2006

Used this every day of our trip
We used this book every day we were in Yellowstone. It was such a help in planning each day, knowing where to stop, what to expect in terms of how long hikes were, finding restaurants and shops, etc. I would read the information about each place aloud to the kids, which helped pass the time between stops. One word of caution, though. We are not the type of family that does a lot of hiking, ...

Ranger's Guide to Yellowstone Day Hikes, A

Farcountry Press, 2000

See the Real Yellowstone With Only Moderate Exertion
As a veteran of more than 35 years of wilderness backpacking in all kinds of weather and every season of the year my brother-in-law and I decided to shoot HD video in Yellowstone. We did not want to do a wilderness trek on the first time out with all new video gear so decided day hikes were best. We did 20 of 29 of the hikes in "A Ranger's Guide to Yellowstone Day Hikes" in 7 days and covered ...

Bill Schneider

Falcon, 2003

The Best Yellowstone Hiking Book
In preparation for a family vacation in Yellowstone I sampled 4 different hiking books, and this was by far the best. It had the best descriptions, maps, photos, and readability. I liked the way the author categorizes hikes by special interest: fishing, wildlife viewing, etc. It also provides good information on backcountry campsites if you're looking to backpack. There is no index, which is ...

Hidden Montana: Including Missoula, Helena, Bozeman, and Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks

John Gottberg

Ulysses Press, 2005

Excellent layout and variety of content.
Braeking the state up into sections, the author does an excellent job of describing and presenting the various highlights of each. Equal treatment is given to popular and off-the-beaten-path areas, with sufficient detail for each. It made my recent visit more enjoyable!

William J. Fritz

Mountain Press Publishing Company, 1985

I got it at the park cuz I was really bored
I'm a nerd. I was left with nothing to read in the cold nights. I was also having trouble sleeping. I thought this book would help. Yes it put me to sleep because reading about rock and millenia of dirt moving is tiresome. But what I absorbed made me look at yellowstone in a new way. The book was quite clear-and I could see and easily understand how Americas greatest monument to beauty was ...

Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 1: Dining Etiquette

15 reviews
Mike Lininger

Yellowstone Publishing, 2007

Fine Dining Made Easy
The last book on CD my wife and I bought was terrible: mens' voices for female characters, etc. And what's the alternative on the radio? Pop music or Howard Stern? I spend twenty percent of my waking life in my car. I might as well spend it wisely. The Food Scholar is easy listening and presented in a way that makes the information easy to learn and remember.

Hidden Idaho: Including Boise, Sun Valley, and Yellowstone National Park (Hidden Travel)

Richard Harris

Ulysses Press, 2004

Excellent Reference!
This book was a fabulous guide to planning a family vacation. As it turned out, we followed a similar path as the one described in the book --across Idaho to Yellowstone. Advance plans included sites described in this book, and when we added activities, we always checked with the book first. It was never wrong. Using this book helped make our family trip (with three teenagers!) a fun ...

Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park

45 reviews
Lee Whittlesey

Roberts Rinehart Publishers, 1995

Worth reading before going there
We are going to yellowstone this summer so I thought this would be a good read, as sad and gross as some of it is, it was a real eye opener and I think anyone with kids should read it before they go. I will be taking a child and I will be watching him like a hawk. The book itself starts out well but it does putter out towards the end like other readers reported. Still worth a read.

The Yellowstone Fly-Fishing Guide

10 reviews
Craig Mathews, Clayton Molinero

The Lyons Press, 1997

I call the book the bible for yellowstone.
This book is easy to use and extreamly useful. It splits the park up into four regions, tells you where (or not to) fish, and where to start looking in your flybox. I have used it the last 3 or 4 years and will use it as long as I vacation in Yellowstone. I have looked at several books on fishing in Yellowstone and this is by far the best that I have found.

John Gottberg

Lodgings, sightseeing, and special dining experiences
Hidden Wyoming appears in its third edition to provide selective recommendations and reviews of lodgings, sightseeing, and special dining experiences throughout the state. A "user friendly" and recommended pick for destination-bound travelers.

Robert B. Smith, Lee J. Siegel

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

Indiana Jones, Eat Your Heart Out
This treasure will turn "topography" into a household word. Dedicated to a fellow geologist recently killed by an avalance while conducting fieldwork, "Windows" is a slick and dramatic feature presentation of volcanism, earthquakes, and geysers. Superb maps and graphs colorfully illustrate variable stratae formed through the eons. An informal and friendly text is scholarly without being ...
