Yellowstone National Park has more than 800 miles of hiking trails. But if you're going to be there for a day or two, only have enough time for one or two short hikes, and need something that is not too physically demanding, which trail do you choose? This book answers that question. Best Easy Day Hikes Yellowstone is an abridged version of a comprehensive book called Hiking Yellowstone. Best Easy Day Hikes Yellowstone includes up-to-date trail descriptions and maps of the author's favorite day hikes in the park. All hikes included in this little book are fairly short, usually without big hills, and are on well-defined, easy-to-follow trails-but still take you to some of the most scenic sections of America's first national park.

THIS BOOK IS DANGEROUS,
By "lmeyer19" (fairport, ny United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Easy Day Hikes Yellowstone (Paperback)
CAUTION! The maps in this book are terrible! You can almost read them in some areas but many spots are too dark gray to be legible.The maps look like a bad black and white photo copy of a good color coded National Geographic map. The book's maps loose information because of the colored background in the original map. We went on a trail walk (to fairy falls in Yellowstone) using only this book. We walked for about 1 hour then came to a junction in the trail which we couldn't figure out. As we were looking at the book another family came along and showed us they had the same book. We both were lost! After a while using another map they had we came to the conclusion that were were about 5 miles from were we wanted to be. So we laughed and started heading back to the car. On our way back we ran into another family using this same book heading for the same place. Obviously it was not just one's person's interpretation of the book. I'm disappointed that we wasted about 2 1/2 hours but more importantly, it could have been dangerous had any of these families continued on their path using this book!

Good guide for short but fun hikes,
By UncleHammy "UncleHammy" (Towanda, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Easy Day Hikes Yellowstone, 2nd (Best Easy Day Hikes Series) (Paperback)
My family and I used several of the hikes in this book on our trip to Yellowstone this summer. We are not an "active" family so the "easy" part of the day hikes were very appealing. The author outlines some very fun hikes and short trails that lead to truly breathtaking scenery. It was a great asset in planning our trip as well as a handy trail guide once we were at the park. The hikes are rated by difficulty level and length and are divided by sections of the park for easy planning and reference.
