This summer we enjoyed our first stays in some of the national park lodges. Not knowing much about the lodges prior to the trip, we located this guide in a bookstore in a nearby town. It provided enough information that we were able to make good choices on which lodges to choose in each park we visited. In particular, we were having difficulty picking lodges in both Yellowstone and Glacier. Both parks have several lodges and we didn't know much about any lodge other than Old Faithful Inn until reading the information in this book. We found the information accurate and helpful.
This is an Excellent Book!

If you like to stay in National Parks, this is the book for you. It provides all the detail needed to weigh all your options for lodging in our National Parks (price, location, views, room options, restaurants). In some cases it even gives recommendations for certain rooms because of the view or the size of the room.Even if you never thought about staying at a National Park Lodge get this book. There are some wonderful places to stay and staying in the park, even if it costs a little more, adds so much to the total park experience.I will not be without this book when I travel. I just wish the authors would write a similar book for State Parks.
Accurate and Useful

As a frequent visitor to the national parks, I found the information in this book to be accurate and useful. We had stayed in several of the lodges mentioned in the book but found out about some places we never knew existed. The lodge in North Cascades is one of our favorites. I recommend this book to both experienced and novice travelers.
A jewel of a book

This book is as good as taking a guided tour. It gives you all the information you would ever want concerning lodges in National Parks. Its easy to read with information masterfully presented. I would strongly recommend that anyone taking a trip across the USA ensure that they include a copy of "National Park Lodges" in their suitcase. Exploring National Parks, using this book as a reference, will make a truly fascinating vacation.
