Travel tips comprising information about camping, activities, and conservation follow a portfolio of photographs. Yosemite makes a nice planning aid for those anticipating a trip to the park, or a great momento to remember past visits by.

Six million visitors a year traipse through the 1.6 million acres of Yosemite and Sequoia/Kings Canyon national parks, drawn by the mountains and meadows, waterfalls and wildflowers, rugged geology and staggering vistas. Yosemite Valley is where most folks flock, to view the awesome hunks of granite and waterfall spectacles, but the Valley represents just the merest fraction of what there is to see. The Frommer guide offer insights on the best views, car campgrounds and primitive campgrounds, best day hikes, waterfalls and picnic spots, best meals, supply stores, and places to take the kids. But the real guidance begins with detailed descriptions of hundreds of lakes, meadows, trails, and drives, plus all the particulars on lodges, motels, campsites, permits, and places to eat. If you want to explore the vastness, see fewer people, and inhale less exhaust, it's worth reading up on the options. --Stephanie Gold --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
