(If you're only going to visit the Parks for three or four days as part of a longer trip, however, it's probably more detail than you would need.) We recently visited the two Parks for a total of twelve days, and I found this Guide extremely helpful. Unusually for a guidebook, I actually read it pretty much straight through before we left. It's an enjoyable read, even aside from the quality of the information it presents.
The Moon Guidebooks only seem to have emerged onto the scene within the past several years, and for many readers they are still likely to be less familiar than such old standbys as Fodor's or even Lonely Planet. But I've used several guides from this publisher now and have found them to be uniformly excellent. In terms of the book's coverage, you get 70 pages on Yellowstone Park itself; 64 pages on the Yellowstone...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: This Guidebook Has Everything, By Mary C (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Moon Yellowstone and Grand Teton (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback) This is THE most helpful guidebook to take on a trip to the two parks. There is SO MUCH to see and do--and lots of it is "off the beaten path". This book contains it all--from the hard-to-find cabins that are run by the locals to the dozens of white water rafting companies! And all the information is there--phone numbers, websites, prices, times, etc. Although the book does not give a review per se to every hotel or activity, the comments are plentiful, are very helpful and I've found these evaluations to be right on the money. The maps are also plentiful, very clear and well-marked. There is a section of information on all the cities that surround the parks and what to see and do there. There are also sections on background history of the parks, park etiquette, environmental issues, and traveling tips. Planning ahead for your visit is a must as the accommodations and activities fill up quickly--and this book gives you all the tools you need to make your trip to this most...Read more 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: The only travel book you need, This review is from: Moon Yellowstone and Grand Teton (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback) When I'm planning a trip the first thing I do is order a Moon Handbook for the area in which I want to travel. They are invariably well informed because the people who write are passionate about the area and will suggest places that some people may miss out on.
The layout is good and the maps are excellent - simple to read and navigate by. We travel pretty extensively in Canada and America and the Moon Travel Handbooks are the only travel books we take with us. I particularly like the suggestions for hiking trails and what you can expect to see as well as the rating for each hike e.g. easy flat walk or moderate walk with some steep ascents. Before you book the suggested accommodation check on tripadvisor to get traveller reviews and make your judgement from those. This book had the usual good tips on where to eat. |
