Lonely Planet Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks 5

This guide has great tips and is easy to read. The problem is finding what you want. For example, if you're looking for things to do in Geyser Country at Yellowstone, you have to look at several sections 20 or so pages apart, because one area has hotels, another area has activities, another day hikes, and a separate one has overnight hikes. Why can't everything in Geyser Country be all together in succession, instead of spread throughout the book? Became very cumbersome to use while in the park.

We did a few hikes that were recommended in this book in both Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. One, in particular, said a 6 mile loop, but it was closer to 10 miles. That makes a difference in preparedness as a family hike. Also, we ran into irate bison a couple times which wasn't mentioned, though obviously went through their home terrain for miles.The hikes often are very hard to follow, so I got an app to help navigate trails which was 100% better. While this guide was great in planning the areas to visit, I wouldn't rely on it solely, and definitely just use the hikes as suggestions for where the trailheads start. This is probably best suited for people just driving the parks. Also, out of the 3 campgrounds we stayed at, the one called a "scar" in the book was our favorite.

My millennial sons laughed at me for buying a travel book for Yellowstone. I got the last laugh... Little to no WiFi or cell coverage in the park, we used it every day 😊

I love that it has a guide for both National Parks since they are so close together and you would likely visit both in the same trip.

Excited to use this for upcoming trip

This is a great guidebook. It's well organized by area. I enjoyed being able to click on the links provided in the Kindle version.

Lots of photos and information.

What I dislike is no instructions.

We always go for Lonely Planet guides wherever we are travelling. They are excellent and give just right amount of detail to help us plan to get the best from our trips

Very useful guide. We used it constantly on our tip.

Birthday present for my wife, who was over the moon, and already night time reading for our upcoming USA 🇺🇸 road trip.

Best book I found for Yellowstone information. Very detailed

Una guía muy simple que apenas cuenta nada del parque, a pesar de ser voluminosa
