The Yosemite Handbook: An Insider's Guide to the Park as Related by Bruinhilda Book

What is the best time of year to go to Yosemite? Where should we stay?and eat? What is the best way to spot wildlife? Can we bring our skateboards? The answers to these and a myriad other questions about Yosemite National Park appear on the clearly organized, informative, and fun-filled pages of Pomegranate's The Yosemite Handbook. The fruit of collaboration between noted Bay Area cartoonist Phil Frank and his wife Susan, The Handbook is drawn and elaborated from the National Park Service's own "100+ Common Visitor Questions & Answers"--an internal resource used to train park rangers and staff. Organized topically, the book gives directions to the park, summarizes activities to enjoy in all seasons, describes the flora and fauna one can observe there, and shares the rules and history of the park. The Yosemite Handbook also includes a handy resource section at the end featuring a telephone directory, campsite reservation form, and checklist for campers.
