This book is a must have book for travel in this state. Besides making the long miles go by faster it is educational and you will learn why this place looks like it does.

There is a lot of "nothing" in WY. Or so it seems till you have this book. Don't think i would live there but it has a lot of interest [fossils especially]
I've purchased a number of books in this series. All were very enjoyable.
Whether a student of geology or just someone who enjoys an enhancement to a trip. This is a wonderful companion.

This series is great for spicing up your road trip, or rockhounding. It's a reference work, so don't expect it to be literature. It is repetitive, but it needs to be, so that you can look up the geology of wherever you are at the time.

A must have book along with the Yellowstone book from the same series. This book made our trip through Wyoming more enjoyable. Our lucky find was at the National Park Service store at Devil's Tower where we found this title along with the Yellowstone version. On our ride into Devil's Tower we were intrigued by the unique rock formations and learned about them as we left for Sheridan reading the Roadside Wyoming book we just purchased. A must travel book for all, kids and adults, which turns a trip into educational adventure. When you read about the history of the famous trails through Wyoming, you get a more realistic perspective with this book by learning about the geology.

Road trips are great. The American vistas are a national treasure. But, I used to feel a nagging disappointment that I could NOT remember my freshman Geology enough to really recognize and appreciate rock formations. Four Roadside Geology books later, the disappointment has eased.

This summer we are driving from Texas to Wyoming. We plan to use the book to really appreciate what we see along the way. Then, we will leave the book as a host gift.
