Outstanding and Invaluable

Excellent resource for detailed and descriptive information regarding every national park it covered. I used it for Yosemite, Zion, and Bryce Canyon. It is the only book you need regarding informative coverage of the western national parks. I bought three (This Frommers, National Geographic, and National Parks of America), but the others were not well written comparatively, however they did have color photographs that enabled me to get a sense of what the parks in questions looked like. Frommers is best for the information, but the others for the photographs. Overall, the best book. If you are doing a western National Park vacation, absolutely get this book.

We kept this book at our feet in the van!

My husband and three children just spent three weeks driving across the country to California and back. We stopped at Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, and a few others. I purchased this book one year before the trip to help me plan, but it was equally helpful as a quick reference. The maps are great, the directions fabulous, and the reviews of restaurants and accomodations right on point, except for the prices, which of course are now higher. The descriptions of the hiking trails and points of interest are worth the price of the book alone, but there is much more than that. I would categorize this as a "must-have" for anyone visiting one or more of the western national parks. By the way, everyone needs to see these places!!

Nice Guidebook - Practical and Helpful

This is a nice guidebook. If you are planning a trip to the Rockies and are a first time visitor, this book is a valuable aid.In addition to descriptions of what there is to see at the National Parks of the West, the book abounds in useful and practical information. There a driving guides, a very helpful "If You Only Have One Day" write-up, places to stay and a lot of helpful advice. I particularly appreciate the "..One Day" part, since it helps focus on the most interesting things to see for those who are making a whirlwind tour of the area.This book is neatly organized and very accessible. I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone planning to take in some of our Western national parks.

Best place to start planning a trip

This book contains an amazing amount of relevant information. We first used it to get preliminary info on a trip we made this summer to eight National Parks and the book proved to be accurate and very helpful. It is an excellent overview and yet has enough depth to be valuable both before and during a trip.

The must have book of visiting National Parks!

This is the most impressive book dealing with visiting National Parks I've read! The only drawback is that it doesn't include the American East parks.The value of this book is that it refers to an abundance of resources that the novice and/or experienced traveller can utilize. My favorite feature? Thumbnail synopses of the hiking trails - when to go, how to get the most out of it, which ones to tackle if you have only a short time, etc.If you intend to EVER go to a Western US National Park, do yourself a favor and get this book!
