Fodor's The Complete Guide to the National Parks of the West has plenty of detail without being overwhelming. We particularly liked the guide's suggestions of what to see and do based on the amount of time a person had for that park: half day, full day, two days, etc. That not only simplified the prioritizing for us but also their suggestions worked very well for us. In addition we liked how the guide included what is also nearby for seeing/experiencing while in the area.
The information is well organized and easy to sort through. It is worth the money. If purchased well in advance, you can do a lot of your planning with its guidance.

My personal "bucket list" includes visiting every National Park in the West----this guide has it all! That is, all the information needed to plan a trip as well as use during the trip. Maps, recommendations for both short and long stays, all recreation opportunities, lodge/camping info in detail, where to eat both inside and outside each park, when to visit, flora/fauna, how to avoid crowds, emergancy services and phone numbers, etc. Truly a complete guide indeed in one little handy carrying case. This was one of my best purchases for value/usefulness.

I used this book on a recent family trip in July 2013. My family went to seven national parks on the west side of the United States and the book was very helpful. It would help more if they listed a few more places to stay. (we used our AAA book to help find some of our accommodations). Stop by "Hell's Backbone Grill and Boulder Mountain Lodge for the most incredible food in the USA and comfortable, luxurious, restful, and peaceful accommodations at the lodge) in Boulder, Utah.

We try every year to visit one or two national parks. We have an old addition of this book and thought it was time to update. It is wonderful. Very complete and up-to-date. Full of great tips. The best part are the suggestions for things to do depending on the length of your visit. Can't wait to put it to use this year.

Hands down the best travel guide books published. This book was invaluable in completing my family's travel plans to five National Parks this fall.

If you are looking to explore the parks on foot, this is not the book for you. This book provides a good guide if you want to do most of your exploring from the inside of your vehicle. For example in the Grand Tetons the longest hike in this book was 7 miles and rated as strenuous. By the time I had visited a couple of parks I learned not to trust the hike recommendations of this book, as they often don't list the best ones (as recommended by the park rangers).

This is my second edition of this book (previous one is about 20 years old). I like to use it in combination with the National Geographic Guide when out west because it has info that the other doesn't - especially helpful when planning accommodations and places to eat. It's also great when deciding my next trip - it's got some wonderful write-ups of the western parks.

I am very happy with this book. I wanted to know how to get the most out of a day at Zion and another day at Bryce Canyon National Parks and if a day at each is enough. The info about each seems to be more than adequate. I'd recommend the book to anyone planning a visit. The book was shipped and delivered very quickly and I'd recommend doing business here👍
