Riassunto
Frommer's guidebooks, unlike those of many of our competitors, are written by local experts (not outsiders)—like Elisabeth Kwak-Hefferan, a Montana resident, naturalist, and noted travel journalist.

This guide contains:
· Insider advice on the best ways to experience some of the country's most dazzling natural landscapes, including tips on the best views, the best backcountry trails, the best scenic drives, and the best activities outside of the parks
· Insightful commentary on park landmarks and specific trails, from the majestic Old Faithful Geyser to the iconic multicolored Mammoth Hot Springs to the solitary Signal Mountain Summit Trail
· Detailed practical information, including tips on safety, advice for beginning backpackers, and when and where to go to avoid crowds
· Opinionated write-ups of hotels, campgrounds, and restaurants—no bland descriptions or lukewarm recommendations here
· Exact prices listed for every business and activity, so there's no guessing or nasty surprises
· Helpful maps throughout
· Large, easy-to-read fonts but thin paper, so the book isn’t too heavy to carry
· Planning tips for getting there, getting around, saving money, and getting the most from your trip
