Wyoming is a magical state - wild, wide open, lonely, and full of wonders - and this book provides the most thorough treatment of all the many things available for adventurers in this unique state. From Yellowtone and Grand Teton National Parks to the wild Wind River and Medicine Bow Mountains, the lonely Red Desert, the Cowboy Country, the lovely Star Valley, and the Native American sites of the North-East, it covers the state with the sort of familiarity and appreciation that is rare in most commercially-oriented guidebooks. As a guidebook author myself, I'd rate it among the finest I've ever used.

Moon Publications has another great book. Everything you need to know about traveling to Wyoming. I have used several of there books on different travel locations and they have all been excellent. The detail about the locations is very helpful, from places to eat and stay to points of interest and even directions as well as the local culture. I highly reccomend there travel books.

After previewing and reading other reviews of the many travel guides available on Amazon, I chose the Moon series for my trip. This book is full of detailed information, and covers even the remotest aspects of the state. The information was up-to-date and accurate. Highly recommend!

This book has a ton of great information. It was published in 2006 and because of that I was worried that the information would be out of date. That was not the case at all. A very good book that touches the whole state. Reminder, this is not a book on Yellowstone but it does give you enough information to plan a trip.

This book was a wonderful travel guide for my family and me when we traveled from southeastern Wyoming to Cody on our way to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. The stories about each area were fun to read while we were traveling in the car. Each time we drove though a town someone in the car would say, "Read us all about it."

We learned about many historical events and made several side stops that we would have missed completely if we hadn't had the book as a travel guide.

We used a couple of telephone numbers that were provided in the book to find hours of operation and one time called for directions to a hotel. This was a great help.


When the trip was finished, we left the book with friends in Denver, CO who plan to travel to Wyoming also. I ordered another copy of this book to have at home to refer back to when looking at vacation pictures and to use for future trips to Wyoming.

I would recommend this book for anyone traveling to or interested in Wyoming. The historical stories in the book are colorful and entertaining. The author does a great job of describing each area and presenting information for hotels, restaurants, and fun activities. Having the book with us was like traveling with a native who knew everything interesting about Wyoming.
