Pretty mediocre
28. Mai 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This is an okay guide book, best for those for whom the very idea of traveling to North Dakota is mind-blowing, or for those who want a watered-down version of the same info available in the visitors center's kiosks. Definitely not very useful for hikers/backpackers or folks planning to actually do much at the park. In fact, slightly less than half the book consists of information on the park itself. The rest treats the surrounding area, the life of TR, ND in general, or simply repeats information given in other parts of the book. Many sections seem designed for an 8-year-old: "Is It Buffalo or Bison?"; "Are Prairie Dogs Really Dogs?"; the quiz at the back of the book to test your ability to read; etc.
I'm glad that Mr. Novey is enthusiastic about the park. But given that this seems to be the only guidebook out there dedicated to TRNP, it's too bad it wasn't done properly. Since there's not much else available, the book does have its uses. But you can probably find the same material after a few minutes with a search engine. If you plan to backpack the map here isn't sufficient. If you plan to drive the one they give you for free at the entrance is. Backpackers will need 2 USGS maps (together they cost a bit more than this book) or one National Geographic map (a bit less than this book) to cover the park.

National Park Enthusiest

Super book ! I have used a number of guidebooks, so when someone offered to loan me a copy I was skeptical at first. Now I am ordering a copy of my own. This will really help me organize my upcoming North Dakota trip.
The writing was engaging and I think the author gave a good overall sense of the place. I think most people would want to go there for many of the aspects covered. I want to get into the history and hope to see lots of animals.
It was especially good to know that there are possible side trips that look like fun nearby. I almost always get to talk to other people who try to " make the rounds " of the National Parks so now I think I could give them some good tips that I read about.
Next time, I'm going to look at the Falcon book first because it was very clear and got me excited. Some of the others look good to start with but when you get down to it they get carried away with too many things that I think would be boring to most of us. It was easy to go to the index when I wanted to find something specific. And my son will probably get a kick out of the questions in the back.

A little about a lot of things
26. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a minor gem of the national park system. Something like half of its "visitors" do no more than stop at a rest area on I-94 that is nominally within the park, where they enjoy the vistas into Painted Canyon. Most of the rest go on a scenic drive through the South Unit, where they enjoy seeing a high density of Great Plains animals such as bison and prairie dogs. Fewer still visit the North Unit, about 90 minutes away, with distinct badlands and a somewhat different suite of animals. Only a few dozen make the difficult drive to the Elkhorn Unit, which protects the site of Roosevelt's cabin.
Novey has given us an enthusiastic invitation to visit the park, written at about a middle school reading level. He provides a little bit of information about everything, from wildlife and geology to driving routes and hiking trails. All this information is available once you're in the park, and most of it is also available on the park website ([...]). But here the information is helpfully collected in a book. The book has nice pictures, some helpful maps, and even a quiz at the end.
About two-fifths of the text talks about things to do elsewhere in the general region, which conveys the impression that there isn't enough to do at TRNP itself. That's probably right if you want only a driving tour. There are some pleasant surprises if you're willing to hike a few miles and not afraid of fording a shallow river.
There's enough information here to help you find those places. But I wish the book went into greater depth about the park.
