Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Why another guide to one of the older, more heavily visited national parks? Because most focus on trails or natural history, but this one covers everything repeat visitors as well as first-timers need to know. There is detailed information on food and lodging in and near the park, trails, supplies, activities, flora and fauna, history, personalities--even a list of fictional works in which Yosemite has a role. A former park ranger and librarian, Medley is now president of the Yosemite Association, giving him the ideal background for writing a guide and history of this national shrine which is visited annually by over three million people. Comprehensive, authoritative, even subjective at times, this is a fine introduction to a famous park which celebrates its centennial in 1990-1991. For all travel collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best guidebook to Yosemite National Park, December 10, 1999
By E. Pratt (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best guidebook to Yosemite I've seen. The guide is well written, easy to read and full of useful and interesting facts about visiting the park. Mr. Medley obviously knows his subject, and his insightful and humorous observations make this an enjoyable read. Not only does it include how-to information for visiting the park, but also sections on Yosemite history, geology and wildlife. If you are planning to visit Yosemite, make this your first purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nuts and bolts type of guide., July 15, 1998
By A Customer
I love Yosemite and I'm glad I got this book because not only will this book give you details on all the available campgrounds in the park, it also info on hikes, tips on how to avoid unwanted visits by local residents (bears, deer, wolves, etc.) and places to go to avoid the summer crowds in the Valley.

Another plus? Fits nicely in your daypack!

4.0 out of 5 stars I had to tape it together...honestly, November 26, 2001
By Carol J Barksdale (Warner Barracks, Bamberg ,Germany) - See all my reviews
Hi All, I read this book from cover to cover and highlighted the entire time. I went with my friends Amy and Dave to Yosemite in May 2001. We had my son (3 at the time) and their two kids (2 and 8 months at the time) in tow. I wanted to be ready with information which I never really did get to give out a tour guide as I had planned(funny thing about kids, they have other ideas of what to do in the car other than hear all about Yosemite and John Muir).The book came with a sheet of updated info which I did copy into my copy of the guide. I was directed to write for a better map than is provided in the book. Well, I never received it...ever! That was my only disappointment. I would like to see the Yosemite with kids section expanded for future travelers with small kids. I recommend you get this guide!
