 more a travel book than a trail guide Oct 18, 2009
By pither
I have to agree with most of the pros and cons others have mentioned for this book. I purchased this book for a recent trip to all three of these parks (four if you include Waterton, which is also mentioned in the book). The book does include information on the trails for the parks, but it is briefer than what you would find in a regular trail book. Very small maps are provided for the trails, so you would need something more detailed for actual trail use.
One feature I particularly liked was a table for each park showing several trails and features for them. This table included the usual info such as hike type, start location, distance, time, and elevation gain, but it also included features and facilities. In the latter two categories the table would indicate things such as wildlife watching, waterfalls, restrooms, whether restaurants were nearby, etc.
The book also includes a lot of information on the nearby areas; things to do, places to stay, and so on. I wasn't as interested in this material, but it did seem to offer a lot of alternatives to just hiking or driving around in the parks.
Overall, I found plenty of useful information in the book and thought it was well worth the price.

 Difficult to use Aug 03, 2009
By MegAtNight
While this book did have helpful information, it is poorly organized and so difficult to use. It attempts to provide information on activities, dining, and lodging but it is not sufficiently detailed in any of these areas. There are no good maps included so you can't easily figure out where things are located. It's strategy of hiding things to do in the suggested itineraries is annoying. To it's credit, it does cover 3 parks in one book.

Nice Book!!!!! Sep 02, 2008
By Richard J. Beamish
This book gives you information that few other books do. Description of campgrounds, best places to eat, shopping, wildlife viewing, scenic drives, etc. You also don't have to buy several books to visit this area. This one book will cover the whole area.
