Excellent read!

I absolutely loved this book! I visited Yosemite back in college with a large group of friends and to put it simply, we were vastly underprepared. I was cold, my feet were wet and sore, and we fumbled aimlessly on random paths. After reading this book, I feel totally equipped and confident I will have an amazing trip.

Great reference for Yosemite

This book was nicely written and narrated. It is a great reference to have when planning on traveling to Yosemite. As someone who has not traveled much, it definitely is an eye opener on what you need to prepare for the trip so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. If I hadn't read this book, I might be the next to attract the bears with some food I might bring along! I also liked that she mentioned how some places have plumbing or not so I know what to expect. Overall, this is a great book to read before visiting this national park.

I've read several guidebooks for national parks I'm planning to visit but being able to listen to this one was a game changer. I was able to review other material while listening as well as jot down my own notes. The narration was clear and pleasant which allowed me to easily absorb the information instead of focusing on the voice. There was a wealth of information I had not even thought of. If you are planning on or even considering a visit to Yosemite National Park, I highly recommend giving this a listen, and be ready to take notes or highlight the book!
