T. Scott Bryan was a seasonal employee at Yellowstone National Park from 1970 through 1986. In addition to his studies in Yellowstone, he has been to geyser fields throughout the contiguous United States, Mexico, Japan, Fiji, New Zealand, and the Valley of Geysers on the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, leading the first-ever US study group there in 1991. Betty Tucker-Bryan is the founder of the Death Valley Hikers Association and has written numerous books and articles on the outdoors.
"Everything one needs to know (but was afraid to ask) about Death
Valley is included in this book: history, culture, geology, flora,
fauna, and climate are more than adequately explained; visitor uses
such as bicycling, hiking, backpacking, exploration, recreation,
and educational needs are identified; and trip routes and road logs
are included in minute detail for the reader. This excellent book
is for the traveler to Death Valley, the frequent visitor to
national parks, and the general reader interested in the rich and
diverse heritage of the United States."
--Colonial Latin American Historical Review "The Explorer's Guide
to Death Valley National Park is the first complete guide to cover
the entire park region, from the habitats and lifestyles of
wildlife in the area to backpacking trips, short day walks and
full-length hikes. From warnings of dangers to local attractions,
this covers much ground."
--Midwest Book Review
"This is a very complete, useful, and well-organized guidebook for
the park visitor. This book is highly recommended."
--American Reference Books Annual
