MS: I don't usually write reviews, but thought this excellent guide was worth commenting about. We were in Yellowstone for almost a week and used this guide every day while we were there. The road maps were very detailed along each segment of the road and the commentary about various sights was helpful. Traffic tie-ups are pretty inevitable along the way as wildlife sightings are of interest to everyone. As the navigator in the car, I used some of this time to read the information out loud....so I was the tour guide too! The maps are also great as they designated areas that wildlife would be sighted. It is small and light weight, easily packed without taking up much room or weight! I will look for guides such as this when we travel to other National Parks. It also includes Grand Teton NP and we used it while there too. A must buy for anyone touring Yellowstone by car!!

Brenda M.: This book has a wealth of information and it is a wonderful size to travel with you! I read through and highlighted parts that I was particularly interested before my trip but it was even better when I was in Yellowstone and Grand Teton where I was actually seeing what the book was talking about. I even let it to my friend who went to these parks this summer and she appreciated having it with her! I have even enjoyed it since my trip as I scrapbook and journal my trips and I have more to reference than in my actual travel journal. I am very happy to have purchased this book and hope to return to the places in it!

mandybutt: This is an excellent book and one of the most useful for us in our trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons. You just have to get used to the linear layout of the map / information. You won’t regret buying it.

Moyra57: A fantastic book that breaks the whole park into bite-size pieces, allowing you to make decisions about the best places to visit and those ,es interesting. Can't wait for my trip there in a few weeks!

Magyarinnc: I purchase several guide books and hiking trail maps for our recent trip to Big Sky, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Bozeman. This book quickly became my go-to guide book while we made our way through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. It is very well-organized and provides just enough information to not get the user bogged down reading and missing the sights. I found it to be extremely helpful as we navigated our way through both parks, helping us to find lesser-known spots to stop along our route, gas stations, and "facitlities" (those near smaller picnic areas are likely to be somewhat less stinky than others). It includes historical information about sights along each route. The parks provide maps upon entry, which are also great, but this little book by virtue of its size is easier to handle in the car. I would recommend this to anyone traveling within these two parks.

R. Patel: I purchased 2 guides for Yellowstone/Teton - the Moon Guide and Nat Geo.

The Moon Guide was a good guide to prepare for the trip - more detailed information on flora and fauna, history, activities, places to eat and a lot of information fo Gateway cities. On the other hand, the NG guide is the ideal side-kick for drives. For every section of road on the main Yellowstone loop roads as well as the Teton main road, there is a dedicated map and highlights of the main attractions and activities, as well as the locations of places to eat or pick up supplies or fuel. My cell reception was virtually non-existent outside of the amenities areas, so it this guide was a handy resource to keep me going. Again, I still think a more detailed guide and probably some internet research beforehand is essential to figuring out what you want your experience to look like (geyser eruption times, ease of hiking trails, etc.) but this thin guy is worth it.

Isabella: This little book is very useful, it is divided into sections and every section shows a small part of the park in detail.
