Publisher Description
Originally published in 1995, soon after Death Valley National Park became the fifty-third park in the U.S. park system, The Explorer’s Guide to Death Valley National Park was the first complete guidebook available for this spectacular area.
Now in its third edition, this is still the only book that includes all aspects of the park. Much more than just a guidebook, it covers the park’s cultural history, botany and zoology, hiking and biking opportunities, and more. Information is provided for all of Death Valley’s visitors, from first-time travelers just learning about the area to those who are returning for in-depth explorations.
The book includes updated point-to-point logs for every road within and around the park, as well as more accurate map than those in any other publication. With extensive input from National Park Service resource management, law enforcement, and interpretive personnel, as well as a thorough bibliography for suggested reading, The Explorer’s Guide to Death Valley National Park, Third Edition is the most up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive guide available for this national treasure.
Customer Reviews
Broken Formatting, Low Res Images, and no linking.
There are sections where the formatting is broken and you end up with columns that are so narrow they’re only one-two words wide (sometimes half a word), which makes for very difficult reading experience.
Also, several of the maps are so low resolution that you can’t discern important details.
There are lots of internal references (to side trips, etc.) that aren’t linked.
Seems like the publishers took a quick and dirty approach instead of making use of the digital platform. This, unfortuantely, means that the hard copy is still a more useful version.
