 Great Guide May 19, 2008

We purchased this book for an upcoming trip to Yellowstone and it is exactly the kind of book for which we had hoped. It is signifcantly better organized than many of the other books that we looked at about Yellowstone.

Highly recommend this book. Well written explaination of what you are seeing. Much better than the park service materials.

This is a good book to have with you in Yellowstone. I especially liked the road logs. It is a good resource that brings together information that would otherwise need to be gathered from multiple resources and is sometimes not even available elsewhere. Combined with T. Scott Bryan's "The Geysers of Yellowstone", it was very well used on our trip!
 If you go, buy this book first. July 6, 2007

In one word - excellent! If you are going to Yellowstone this is the only book you will need. Heads above Fordor's or Frommer's travel books on Yellowstone. On our trip to Yellowstone in mid-June 2007 we also took along the Frommers guide to Yellowstone loaned to us by a friend. We never needed it because Yellowstone Treasures has it all and in an easy to follow comprehensive do everything and see everthing guide.
I bought this book from Amazon because of the positive reviews. I scanned the book before we left and as we approached the east entrance my wife started reading to me what we will see and learn as we drove. The author left nothing out and we could find no miscues. It was our "bible" that we never left our room without.
Many of the other reviews on Amazon give you details into how the book is setup and the general contents so I won't go into that. I just can't give this book enough kudo's. Five star rating for sure!

We used this book in combination with a quick road guide (the National Geographic Road Guide) for a full-featured tour of Yellowstone National Park. This book is FULL of easy-to-read and detailed tidbits about every feature of the Park you'd want to know about. It includes things about geothermal features, wildlife, history, fires, hiking trails, and so much more!
It was fun to come across something in the Park, flip open this book, and be able to read more about what we were seeing. Very interesting and educational! We bought other guides, but THIS IS THE ONE WE USED.
