The Concise Visitor's Guide to Yellowstone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781453618820)

Demystifying weather, wildlife populations, hundreds of square miles of backcountry, and park accommodations that are often sold out a year in advance, "The Concise Visitor's Guide to Yellowstone" by author and national park enthusiast Matt Bolton is the smartest tool to ensure your trip to America's first national park is unforgettable. This guide, the second in a series, follows Bolton's Amazon Category Best Seller, "The Concise Visitor's Guide to Yosemite." Sized to fit your backpack and your budget, your adventure begins here. In seventeen engaged and informative chapters like "Hiking Options" and "Wildlife in Yellowstone" Bolton makes a beeline to the basics so readers can really enjoy the scenic route. He satisfies the vital needs of where to stay and where to eat, and answers general questions, like how to get to Yellowstone, for first-time visitors. He offers up-to-date phone numbers and websites, as well as details on visitor centers, seasonal events for kids, and camping. Leaving no stone unearthed he also lists activities for outdoor enthusiasts who don't particularly like to hike and what to do in case of inclement weather. Whether you have a single afternoon or an entire month, Bolton walks readers through how to make the most of their time at Yellowstone and doesn't just offer what he thinks are the best trails and tours but goes the extra mile to explain why. With tips on what to pack, what sort of challenges might come up, and where to fuel the car, Bolton never misses a beat in making national parks accessible-and ensures that your time at Yellowstone is extraordinary.
