   Brief yet thorough. Fantastic balance of history, facts, trail guide, and descriptions. Perfect for persons who want to get off the beaten track, but not dive into the back country. The descriptive context and tales related to each trail give a unique view – like having a ranger along. Highly recommended.

   This guide was a birthday gift along with “Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks Road Guide.” We used the two of these books nonstop during our nine days in the park. This book offers acurate information regarding the trails and rankings. Know that not ALL trails are listed. I selected up “Best Simple Day Hikes Yellowstone” but it’s trail rankings were not as acurate. If you are purchasing one book on trail hiking in Yellowstone, use this one.

   There is so much more to Yellowstone than can be seen from the roads and boardwalks. “A Ranger’s Guide to Yellowstone Day Hikes” guides you to trail heads you may not find on your own and out into the park revealing the incredible diversity that is unique to YNP. Each hike is rated for difficulty and the ratings are generally accurate. The book fits easily into a day pack and the topo maps let you know what you’re getting into elevation wise before you set off. I fervently recommend that you include this book in your preparation of a Yellowstone adventure.

   We have been hiking the National Parks in the West for nearly 20 years and this is the most valuable trail book I own. The information on each trail is completely accurate with respect to distances, maps, directions, etc., and the naturalist notes are very informational. We have concluded 75% of the hikes in this book and have loved every single one – some have even been done two or more times. The book is tiny enough to carry in a fanny pack. I have thrown away all of my additional Yellowstone hiking books as this has become affectionately known as “The Bible”.

   We bought this book before a trip to Yellowstone with our family tree. The book was very helpful in helping us find trails that our whole family tree could do. The pictures and discriptions were very helpful in the preparation and telling our kids what to look for.
