Yosemite (Moon Handbooks) Book

A magical place, Yosemite National Park possesses all the hallmarks of the mythical western frontier -- towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, ancient stands of trees, steep mountains and beautiful alpine lakes. In Moon Handbooks Yosemite, from best-selling author and outdoor expert Ann Marie Brown, travelers will find all the information they need to experience everything the park has to offer and more! Unlike other guides to the park, Moon Handbooks Yosemite combines two elements that are usually found separately -- practical information on getting to and through the park and extensive coverage of all outdoor recreational activities. Whether a visitor intends to stay in the park at a lodge, cabin, or remote campsite, or is using one of the gateway towns as a base, this book provides all the necessary contacts to plan the perfect park vacation. Ann Marie's extensive knowledge of the park's wild lands offers hikers, campers, rock climbers or casual nature lovers insightful and informative tips on the best rivers for swimming, hiking trails to use when avoiding the crowds, meadows for photographing wildlife, and much more. From first-timer to old pro, Moon Handbooks Yosemite is a must-have on a Yosemite trip checklist.Read More
