Exploring the Yellowstone Backcountry,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Exploring the Yellowstone Backcountry: A Guide to the Hiking Trails of Yellowstone With Additional Sections on Canoeing, Bicycling, and Cross-Country Skiing (Third Edition) (Paperback)
Before the book arrived (which it did in 3 days) I was pleasantly supprised when the author, Dr. Bach Jr. reached out to me and wanted to let me know he is available in case I have any questions. Even though the book is well written and provides great information in a lot of different angles about the park, having a seasoned backpacker ready to offer words of wisdom for your specific trip is always a vote of confidence. Buy this book if you plan to visit the world's first national park.

This review is from: Exploring the Yellowstone Backcountry: A Guide to the Hiking Trails of Yellowstone With Additional Sections on Canoeing, Bicycling, and Cross-Country Skiing (Third Edition) (Paperback)
This book was extremely helpful for our trip to Yellowstone this summer. It has great trail descriptions and helpful information about weather, fauna and flora,and natural history, and a backpacking checklist. I also loved the compact size and blank pages for field notes in the back (writing down everything we did definitely helped us remember all the fantastic things we saw). The author even signed our copy since he was the amazon seller.
