‘My class very much enjoyed this fun story. I've owned the third edition since 2011 (Kindle and paperback editions) and I bought both versions of this fourth edition.
I own three books about hiking in Yellowstone and the complete set of Trails Illustrated Yellowstone maps but those things can't substitute for a comprehensive guide to Yellowstone.
