Hiking is
one of the most popular activities in Yellowstone
National Park. And for good reason. More than 800
miles of trails meander their way through the National
Park. As there is such a huge network of hiking trails
in Yellowstone, having a good hiking guidebook is
a must in my opinion.

Book
Description
DAY HIKES IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK is a concise guide to 54 of the
best day hikes in this magnificent park. The hikes include thundering waterfalls,
geysers, hot springs, high mountain lakes, cascading rivers, meadows and
panoramic views. These day hikes will take you to incredible scenery and
natural features found nowhere else on earth. The hikes are easy to moderately
strenuous, accommodating every level of hiking experience.
Comment :
This book covers only day hikes. For more in-depth
information, you'll want
the Hiking
Yellowstone National Park instead. However,
if you plan on only a handful of short hikes on your
trip to Yellowstone and don't feel like looking over
a map for hours to find
some interesting ones, then this book makes a great
choice.

Map
Description
Yellowstone's panoramic hiking map beautifully
illustrates the diversity of this vast national
park, from thermal features to high mountain
peaks, from cauldrons to large mountain lakes,
from small creeks to large rivers and from
cascades to some of the world's most powerful
waterfalls.
The hiking trails are just as varied. Many
of them are fairly level and distances are
covered
quickly, while others are steep and reach the
tundra. The wildlife ranges from pikas to grizzlys.
The Trail Tracks® hiking map provides information
about all of these features. Please note the
distances are not to scale on this illustrated
map of Yellowstone, however, distances and
elevation gains are listed in the quick-reference
charts
provided.
Comment :
If you plan on hiking in Yellowstone, this is the
map to get. During summer months, hiking maps for
Yellowstone can be in short supply locally due to
high demand. Thus, if you know
you will be hiking in Yellowstone, get this (or any
other) map before you arrive. Doing so makes advanced
planning easier and you're guaranteed to have a good
map,
too.
