The book was little more than a list. The hand drawn maps were amaturish in this day and age. It was lacking in information. Maybe I was spoiled by the "100 Best And All The Rest" book I had just purchased on Colorado campgrounds. Camping Wyoming was a waste of money.

I was searching for a book that would tell me the information that would be most useful in searching for just the right camp site... This book has it... very informative and easy to understand without a lot of useless drivel... I wish it were available for Idaho!

This is another of those "Big Misunderstanding" novels that Diana Palmer is so famous for. Some of those actually work. This isn't one of those.

The heroine is a romance writer -- so the hero has already decided she must be a Loose Woman. He treats her rudely and makes some of the silliest assumptions I have ever seen in a romance novel. Even worse, she never really defends herself until the book is almost over.

I used to love this kind of book in the 1980s, but this one doesn't age well. Unless you're a really big fan, I'd suggest that you look for another Palmer instead. Or better yet, look for category romances by upcoming authors like Jan Freed, Margaret Early, and so forth.

I loved this book! For all of you Diana Palmer fans out there, this book is a must read! The chemistry between Katriane- (the romance writer) and Egan- (the tough rancher) is sizzling. Although I will say that there were times when I just wanted Katriane to smack Egan over the head for his snide remarks, but she gave as good as she got! This is Palmer at her best!

I don't know why I didn't like this book. It was too wordy, too perdictable, too much something. Why is it that white's are always being protrayed as saving the Native American. I've read many novels about Native Americans and this one reminds me of some new age person who has the facts and language down, but it's really boring and drons on and on. The characters are cardboard cutouts and easly fit in a 1950's western movie. I only wish I could return the book. If you want a good read try Scarlet Plume, Hanta Yo, or any book by a true Native American like Sherman Alixe.

I, on the other hand, thought that this was a good book. It was NOT too wordy or predictable, either. The begining was not neccessarily slow, but just not as interesting as the last half of the book, but once I got to last half, I couldn't put it down. It was just like listening to an old myth. I would recomend this book to anybody who is a fan of story telling and the powers behind it.

I am very disappointed given the author's work for Fly Fisherman Magazine which is excellent. The title should substitute the word "guide" to "overview with great photography". The only map in the book is a very pretty photograph of a topo map which shows only rivers and no roads. The ledgend next to the map lists two locations, a river and a lake, with numbers assigned to them. Go to the map and you discover that number 23 (Boundary Creek) and number 30 (Lewis Lake) are not depicted on the map. Both of these editing errors are in the Yellowstone National Park area of the map. With regard to other editing errors it appears that Wordperfect 7.0 or some similar program was the proof reader. It "seems" that "seam" is the word of choice when refering to "the fish seam to like...". Wordperfect 7.0 knows that "seem" is a legitimate word as is "seam" when used refering to the joining of two parts of breathable waders. The photography is outstanding. The author should have decided what he wanted to produce. The paper is very high quality glossy finish throughout. Perfect for high quality photographs. ... for text on a "guide" to flyfishing Wyoming. The book is short on photographs if that was the intent. The book is short on details about the rivers and streams if that was the intent. I will not return the book because I can afford it however I will be going back to ... for another try because I have a Wyoming trip scheduled for this coming September.

I bought this book and really liked it. I read the previous review, and I guess that it's different strokes for different folks. To me, this is a great guide to the fishing possibilities within the state. It gives you enough to get you stoked up to go try a new river, or gives you the info to consider some of the small rivers you crossed over to get to the big name rivers. This book will direct you to many of the hinterland locations, and that's what I really like in a fly fishing location type book. There are great photographs throughout. I felt like I was there.

Frommer's Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks good overall guide to the area. It's descriptions of the lodging choices and the dining descriptions were very good although it omitted the Geyser Grill in the Old Faithful area. The descriptions of activities in GT were very good, but the descriptions of activities in YNP were lacking. There were some omissions: the Antelope Creek Drainage area and the Brink of the Upper/Lower Falls trails. Some felt the Norris Geyser Basin highly overrated as was the West Thumb Geyser Basin and Osprey Falls. This book is a great starting point but by no means should it be the only book you have. It's perfect for making your dining and lodging choices but suffers in adequately describing activities (for that check out 'An Outdoor Family Guide to Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks' by Lisa Gollin Evans).

As a professional, I found the book to be somewhat illuminating. For example, I understood why a colleague in another part of the state insisted that I prescribe certain drugs to a patient who needed them, rathen then him, himself. However, at most parts, the details are far too discrete. This leads to speculation, which is unfair to both the professional and the public. To say that the professional is required to have psychiatric care while practicing medicine without details, opens up all sorts of speculation that could harm the doctor - patient relationship unnecessarily.

Ella and Hawk were great characters. Ella is an orphan in search of a family. Hawk is a family man in search of a nanny. He's a millionaire. She's living in a house with no electricity and no running water.

They find each other and have an instant attraction to each other.

Unfortunately, this is where I got lost in the book.

There was simply too much narrative going on with very little dialogue between the couple who were supposed to be falling in love with each other. The narrative dragged on and I found myself skipping pages ahead until the next dialogue break. Of course, he was always in front of the computer working, and she was always playing with the children - not a very big window of opportunity to host a growing relationship.

In the last three chapters, Aunt Frannie is intoduced. Frannie, Hawk's sister-in-law, desires Hawk and wants to marry him and does everything in her power to get Ella out of the picture. She succeeds, but has a change of heart when she realizes that Hawk is in love with his nanny.

The chapters about Aunt Frannie all seemed a little contrived and cliche. She seemed to be filler for a book that didn't quite make it to the preferred length. She served no purpose in the book and, in my opinion, only made the story drag even further.

Wyoming Cinderella needed more dialouge and a tighter story - this one dragged on so!!

It wasn't a bad book, though. The characters were quite likeable. My recommendation? Save your money and buy it used or borrow from a friend.

This book does a great public disservice. The information in the book has not been updated in years and is terribly outdated. Quite a bit of the information is absolutely wrong. Send the publisher a message - don't buy the book until they update it. Save your money, there are much better, current books out there such as "Hot Springs and Hot Pools of the Southwest" & Northwest - which are updated ever two years

The only useful thing about this writer's books on hot springs are the USGS maps and the latitude/longitudes. I bought a book of his nearly 20 years ago and was thoroughly dissatisfied, & was incensed when it seemed to me he was more interested in providing info for the land yacht crowd. I wonder if his book alleging that the lunar landings were hoaxes is any better. I doubt it. He probably denies the Holocaust took place, too. If you want a book on hot springs, check out Jayson Loam's books. They are much better. If you want info on faked lunar landings, get the movie "Capricorn One."

We have tried one hot spring listing and enjoyed our hot soak, found one shut down, one remodeling and one a bit too pricey for us. Would like to see some reference to actual costs rather than than reasonable or free or deluxe. One place inacessible without 4 wheel drive but we will keep trying, the maps are good.

With the name Frommer, I really expected something substantial. I canÕt tell you how disappointed I was when I got this. It is a mere shadow of the ÒMoon Montana HandbookÓ, and only a pamphlet of highlights compared to the ÒUltimate Montana Atlas and Travel EncyclopediaÓ. They try to funnel you in to the high traffic tourist spots, and only suggest the pricey restaurants and motels. About the only good thing I can say about it is that itÕs a quick read. They cram all of Montana into a little more than 200 small pages. If you really want to explore Montana, get the ÒUltimateÓ or the ÒMoonÓ books (the ÒUltimateÓ book is really the only one youÕll ever need). If you are part of the ÒKick me, IÕm a touristÓ crowd, then by all means buy this book.

I recently purchased three guide books on Montana: this one, the Montana Handbook, and the Ultimate Montana Atlas and Travel Encyclopedia. If all you're looking for are the places everyone else goes, then this is probably an OK book. It seems to only feature the places where the moneyed folks will go and none of the places that really make travel interesting. Their suggestions for dining and lodging were so limited they were worthless. I certainly didn't feel like I could plan a trip using this book. I got suckered in by the "look inside" feature on this and the Montana Handbook. Why they didn't put it on the Ultimate Montana book is puzzling. Probably because they wouldn't sell any of these other two books if people could really compare. If you want to see what all the other tourists see then this book is probably adequate. If you want to follow their recommendations for dining and lodging, better pack a lot of cash. I mean really, packing two of the largest states in the country into a pocketbook the size of a Grisham novel should tell you something. There are parts of the state they don't even cover. My advice, unless you just like spending money, skip this book.

A handy addition to other travel books for the region.

This book is fine for beginner climbers who want to hike the easiest and best known trails in the area.

Stone gives a brief (maybe too brief) description of over 40 hikes and good directions on how to get to each trailhead.

For those of you looking for longer, less well known, and more challenging hikes, I would recommend Hiking Grand Teton National Park by Bill Schneider. This book lists more hikes (easy, moderate, and hard) and gives more complete descriptions on what to expect on each hike.
