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.

djtrob: We did a road trip of Yosemite and this thing was very helpful. It’s straight to the point you will not have that great of cellular reception in the park so it’s hard to look up things so having a book is handy easy to read by the campfire or in your tent.

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 One is that the book is outdated to a greater extent than even a typical travel book.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...
