Wonderful pics and great tips

I flipped through many guides at the book store before checking online and getting this one. The pictures included in this guide are full color and amazing! The pictures alone might make this book worth the buy, even if you aren't planning a trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons. We were, in fact, planning a trip to both parks though and found the information very useful. We especially liked the best experiences section. Unless...

Great for before the trip... and as after

Highly Recommended: This classy Fodor's travel guide covers the core aspects of Yellowstone you would expect, but goes above and beyond with stunning photography. ** Really the photo's are spectacular on high quality glossy paper which is a bit unusual for a book in this price range. ** I have long taken yearly holidays in the Jackson Hole area in the summer and this always involves one of more days around Yellowstone or...

What a DREAM of a book - absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow - this guide is phenomenal. It is so good that I read this from cover to cover (including all the lodging information) and did not want to put it down.

The photography is outstanding and makes you want to climb right into the scenery...

The authors' knowledge of the areas and the ability to write a most welcoming challange to come and visit were inspirational. We are planning a spring trip to the park for a fine art painting trip and wanted something to help make sense of the overwhelming choices and trails...

I wish all travel guides looked like this

This is a beautiful book! Small and compact (thought, a bit heavy for backpacking) FULL of stunning photography, maps with useful information (such as where campsites are, and day use picnic areas.) I particularly like this book because it covers lots of info, which is good Pre-trip for planning, but also has many small tidbits and factoids that you can just peruse during the trip, you know...those lazy nights before you...
