[Matt]

A good guidebook. We were (and still are) thinking about vacationing in Yosmite Park. This is a pretty thorough guidebook to it's highlights, places to stay, thinks to do, etc.

About what you would expect from rough guides... a very good guidebook.

[Colleen Davis]

This book is older, so some of the lodging/food/transportation recommendations no longer exist but the format is great and the author is incredibly thorough. This is the kind of guide book I'd bring along with me
