5.0 out of 5 stars Best guidebook EVER!, December 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Scenic Driving Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park (Paperback)

This book is like a great family car trip through Yellowstone and the Tetons. And Butler, at the helm, is the ultimate tourguide/mom. Her descriptions of the area are so vivid you can almost hear her turning around to yell at you to stop all that fighting in the back seat... This book far surpassed my expectations for a driving guide, with excellent tidbits of information on the geography, geology and history of the area. If you are waivering on the idea of a trip to Yellowstone & the Tetons, this book is the convincer. If you're firm in your commitment to the trip, it is an invaluable guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars best guide book for DRIVING tour of yellowstone & vacinity, June 15, 2003

This review is from: Scenic Driving Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park (Paperback)

...just returned from driving trip to yellowstone/tetons/jackson hole....having bought 5 different guide books from Amazon.com to insure a trip that covered everything and missed nothing... I feel it is important to let potential driving travelers to yellowstone know how valuable this book is. Of all the books I purchased, this is the only book I used as we traveled the park by car. I used it daily as we went from one location to the next. I kept saying to myself as we toured the park using this book, that I wanted to thank the author and let the public know how valuable this book was. In fact. I saw this book for sale in the national park visitor centers. Get yours before you arrive to ensure a knowlegeable trip. Thanks, susan,

This review is from: Scenic Driving Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park (Paperback)

We used our copy of this book to plan our main drives around both parks. Except for a very few instances the scenes were exactly as described and exactly where they were supposed to be. The wildlife viewing recommendations for the most part were spot on. We recommend this a an invaluable resource for those planning to drive most of the roads and entrances to both parks. We lent our well beaten copy to other couples since our return and both couples raved about how useful this book was to their planning and daily events.
