Yellowstone Treasures: The Traveler's Companion to the National Park Review
This is a wonderful and concise driving guide to one of our national treasures, Yellowstone Park. Easy to use and with great suggestions for hikes and walks. Interesting info on each geyser area as well as the less traveled places in the park. Having visited 3 years prior I was looking for a guide with solid history and geology that would be a great armchair read at home. This is that book. Good diagrams, maps, even an explanation of plate tectonics with teachable moments for you and your children about our planet. Pictures of animals, birds, plants and of course geysers.

Yellowstone Treasures: The Traveler's Companion to the National Park Overview
Winner, Benjamin Franklin Silver for Travel
The first and oldest national park in the world can be enjoyed mile by mile with this complete travel guide. Along with fascinating facts and anecdotes, readers will learn of Yellowstone's geyser basins and the frequency of the geysers, out-of-the-way hikes, and flora and fauna. Easy-to-understand scientific explanations and diagrams complement an array of short walks, the right season for camping, and the park’s campgrounds and facilities. Updated road logs highlight more than 100 historical points of interest, including the often misidentified locale from which artist Thomas Moran painted his “Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” masterpiece and where five stagecoach robberies occurred along the Grand Loop Road. New text examines areas that have changed in recent years, including the reconstructed Canyon-to-Dunraven Pass and the newly completed North Rim Drive at the Grand Canyon. Additionally, numerous new photographs feature historical and contemporary images

By far the best guide to Yellowstone - Laura L. Rencher - Nashville, TN USA
I bought this book after reading the reviews. We went to Yellowstone with my family in early August. We used this book throughout the park. The organization made it very user friendly. It was much superior to the books my other family members had purchased for trip.
Absolutely Wonderful Book!! - Anonymous -
Our family recently visited Yellowstone National Park. I had purchased 4 books to help plan our trip. However, I only needed one...this book. It is such a well written book...very easy to follow and very well organized. It provides maps and valuable information for each entrance into the park. We used all this information to help plan hikes, photographs and driving routes. You only need one resource for the park...this book!!
