    Wouldn't leave home without it

    Planning our first trip to Yellowstone was a breeze with this handy guide. We discovered places that most people at the park were never aware of, or never knew how to find. Frommer pointed out hard to reach places or places that were not well marked - such as the Lookout at Old Faithful, Uncle Tom's Trail at the Canyon. We definitely will not plan another trip without consulting a Frommer's guide first.
