Whether you are planning a trip to Yosemite National Park or you are in the car and heading there, Matt Bolton’s The Concise Visitor’s Guide to Yosemite is your perfect traveling companion. Using this book as your guide, you will find the most candid and up-to-date information about trails and lodging, weather conditions, where to dine or shop for food, kids’ activities, and park tours. Unlike many guide books that highlight certain areas, Bolton’s book allows you to compare different aspects of the park. For example, why are some trails better than others? Are there areas to avoid? In a park that offers seemingly limitless activities, this book will help you to organize your visit and get the most out of your time at the park. As a five-time visitor to Yosemite, and a visitor to what many consider every major national park in the fifty states, the author is more than qualified to be your guide.
