MOON YELLOWSTONE & GRAND TETON: Including Jackson Hole (Travel Guide)

The book is written by a single, highly knowledgeable author, which gives it continuity of style and substance. It is extremely clear, systematic, very well illustrated and informative. Maps, photographs and typographical divisions of the text use full colour, making the book a pleasure to use and easy to navigate. The different areas within Grand Teton and Yellowstone each receive detailed coverage but the book also offers appealing overviews and itineraries for exploring within and between the constituent areas by motorised transport, hiking or other means. All of the usual topics of accommodation, restaurants, etc., are discussed, as well as advice on subjects such as wildlife and plants, health and safety. it is undoubtedly one of the very best among the many travel guides I have used.

Easy to read. Lots of information in nice easy sections. Looking forward to using this book on my upcoming holiday.

Really like it.

Just got back from Yellowstone and purchased this before leaving. I love the layout and divisions of the book and wish I had ordered sooner (before booking hotels). The maps/diagrams/charts are in color and easy to understand... the hiking trails were well described (easy, mod, strenuous... mileage...duration, etc) and helped us get an idea of how we wanted to spend our time there. The most helpful topics for me included: Old Faithful/WYellowstone, NYellowstone, Volcanic/Geyser education, Safety in Bear Country, hiking, what to do if you only have a day, beating the crowds, and history. I also purchased “Zion & Bryce” and “Grand Canyon” from the same publisher (Moon)... I had read reviews that they were the best guide books and I was not disappointed... Would purchase more from this publisher as I feel the topics were extremely well covered!

I bought both this guide and the Lonely Planet guide. While both are useful, this one is clearly better and will be the one we take to the parks with us later this summer.
