Navigating Yellowstone and Teton July 23, 2008
This book was a birthday gift. What a wonderful friend I have! We spent nine days in Yellowstone NP and we used this book and "A Ranger's Guide to Yellowstone Day Hikes" the entire time. Depending on where you are starting from, you will read the maps from top to bottom or from bottom to top and it can be confusing, but still worth purchasing! We had 6 guide books with us but the other four were not used during driving. This guide also shows you areas where you may want to pull over and explore along the route.

The title says it all, if you are doing any kind of travel around the park past the major sites, you must have this map. It shows elevation changes, more details than the standard map given at the park entrance. It's as helpful as any guidebook. And made of a very durable and waterproof material.

I just returned from Yellowstone and the Tetons. I used this book throughout my trip. It is clear, easy to use and well-written. The left hand page is a map of a short distance, say 14 miles, the right hand tells you about the sights. I used it in conjunction with a more detailed book (Moon guide), and found both useful in tandem. The only drawback is that it assumes you are entering the park from the West Entrance, so I had to use stick on notes to guide myself backwards by numbering the stick-ons in the order of my route. It was no big deal and hardly a reason not to buy the book. Two thirds of the annual 3 million visitors enter via the west, so you can understand the authors' reasons.

We used this book quite frequently during our recent vacation to Yellowstone. It provided an excellent quick-reference to the roads and roadside attractions we were approaching.
First, we checked which section of road we were on from the map on the inside front cover. That led us to a couple of synopsis pages with brief, accurate highlights. It was very handy for quickly assessing roadside attractions, and identifying places we wanted to go.
For more in depth research, we used "Yellowstone Treasures", which we also HIGHLY recommend!
