The Complete Guidebook to Yosemite National Park (Complete Guide to Yosemite National Park)
Why another guide to one of the older, more heavily visited national parks? Because most focus on trails or natural history, but this one covers everything repeat visitors as well as first-timers need to know. There is detailed information on food and lodging in and near the park, trails, supplies, activities, flora and fauna, history, personalities--even a list of fictional works in which Yosemite has a role. A former park ranger and librarian, Medley is now president of the Yosemite Association, giving him the ideal background for writing a guide and history of this national shrine which is visited annually by over three million people. Comprehensive, authoritative, even subjective at times, this is a fine introduction to a famous park which celebrates its centennial in 1990-1991. For all travel collections.- Roland Person, Southern Illinois Univ.
