About this title

About the Author:

Steven P. Medley, hiker, president of the Yosemite Association, and constant friend of the park, spent 35 of his 57 years in Yosemite National Park, starting out as a ranger before moving to the Yosemite Association, which he led for over two decades. This book is regularly updated in his honor.

From Library Journal:

Why another guide to one of the older, more heavily visited national parks? Because most focus on trails or natural history, but this one covers everything repeat visitors as well as first-timers need to know. There is detailed information on food and lodging in and near the park, trails, supplies, activities, flora and fauna, history, personalities--even a list of fictional works in which Yosemite has a role. A former park ranger and librarian, Medley is now president of the Yosemite Association, giving him the ideal background for writing a guide and history of this national shrine which is visited annually by over three million people. Comprehensive, authoritative, even subjective at times, this is a fine introduction to a famous park which celebrates its centennial in 1990-1991. For all travel collections.
