Summary: This truly is THE ultimate book about Wyoming!!!
Review: After browsing through The Ultimate Montana Atlas and Travel Encyclopedia, I decided to check out what The Ultimate Wyoming book had to offer. As a Wyoming native, I was skeptical that this book could tell me anything I hadn't already learned during my 18 years of residence/travel there. Was I ever wrong, though. This book is absolutely INCREDIBLE and is a traveler's dream! The guide is chock full of interesting tid-bits about the state; history about individuals, places, and dates that shaped WY into what it is today; and food, lodging, camping, shopping, adventure, and attraction guides pointing travelers to some of the best places to visit, rest, and eat. Want to know if there's a child menu available at the restaurant you're thinking of going to? Just check out the dining reference for quick facts about every possible eatery found in town...from fast food to fine dining. For an outdoor adventure, check out any of the numerous pages describing hikes, fishing areas, etc. You name it, it's here.

Another great feature is the weather information listed for many of the state's towns. Wyoming's weather can be unpredictable, but this simple information can make trip planning a breeze no matter what month it happens to be.

Since the book is divided into sections with specific locator numbers assigned to each town/destination/attraction, it is extremely easy to use. While some guidebooks may provide maps of the state's largest cities (i.e. Cheyenne or Casper), this book doesn't discriminate. If a place has something to offer travelers, a user-friendly street map is provided.

With great color photos in the book's first few pages as well as several other shots capturing Wyoming's diverse landscape/features, this book has it all! I can't imagine finding any other guidebook with so much detailed information. I highly recommend this book to anyone planning an extended trip to Wyoming, to those just passing through, and to any Wyoming resident simply interested in learning more about his/her wonderful state!
