A comprehensive guide to the crown jewels of the National Park system. The Greater Yellowstone ecosystem is one of the true gems of the American landscape. With guidance from seasoned travel writers who know the park very well, visitors will find details on everything from wildlife viewing to drinks in downtown Jackson Hole. Dramatically illustrated with 100+ color photographs, the scenic beauty of the area comes to life.
Our big trip this year will be to Yellowstone/Grand Teton and Mount Rushmore. This book was a valuable overview of the all the interesting spots and sights to see as well as good travel tips on how to get around the parks.
Lists attractions along each segment of road in the parks, very useful for selecting daily routes to take on vacation drives. I used it to plot an itinerary for a future trip, as well as select the lodging to reserve.
I found this guide absolutely wonderful...and can't wait to get back to this part of the country. We only scratched the surface on our whirlwind trip and I am in awe of the beauty we encountered!
