Gail L. Thompson: I'm planning a trip to Yosemite and have just about worn this book out. It is a great guide for trips when you are unable to spend several days. I will be at Yosemite only 2 days and, thanks to this guide, I will be able to see all the highlights in the time allowed. I highly recommend this book.

Sarah Ochs: Loved this book! Read it prior to spending a week in Yosemite and it helped us to plan out our week perfectly. Great content on hikes and must- sees as well as restaurants! We did the Valley Floor Tour as recommended and it was a fantastic tour and worth the money. Very thankful for this book!

spec: This guide packs a lot of photos and enthusiasm in an easy-to-carry small book. I enjoyed reading it. I very much appreciated the large folded map conveniently included in a back pocket.

However, There are two issues that limited its usefulness for my brief visit to Yosemite. One is that the book is outdated to a greater extent than even a typical travel book. Though published well after COVID restrictions came into effect, the text does not reflect the widespread closures still affecting the park. An example is the bus/tram tour of Yosemite Valley. The author repeatedly raves about this tour and includes it in all her itineraries--but the tour doesn't exist, hasn't existed for a while.

The second issue is that little to nothing is mentioned about accessibility, or attractions best suited for people with physical limitations. There are a lot of us who haven't spent twenty years hiking and rock-climbing, and yet we'd like to enjoy what we can. A day's agenda for people who don't regard a two-mile uphill climb as "moderate" would be a very valuable addition here, rather than leaving readers to cobble together information about "maybe I could manage that" drives and...
