Customer Reviews

A must have when visiting this park

Summer is crazy in and around the park. We were definitly glad we could have a plan of what we wanted to do and see. Thanks to this book we had a good overview of the park along with specifics of where to rent bikes, where to eat, where to stay and so on. It really helped us to use our short time there wisely.

Well-rounded Coverage

This book is well written. It seems quite complete. I do have to qualify that our trip involved cooking on our own, hiking and a little bicycling, so we didn't avail ourselves of all the other things to do in the park and surrounding areas. I like the layout and the text font. The reference maps are clear.

A must

This book is extremely helpful as a planning guide to a great trip.
