Lost in My Own Backyard: A Walk in Yellowstone National Park by Tim Cahill
3.0
This is an enjoyable collection of essays in which Cahill shares some thoughts, experiences, hiking highlights, stories and history about Yellowstone, particularly favorite trails. There are also extended essays about back country hikes, the likes of which most of us will never attempt. Cahill's love for the park shines on every page.
I picked this short book up to read just prior to visiting Yellowstone for the first time. I like reading books of all kinds about places I visit, and this did not disappoint. It actually quite nicely fed the flames of my excitement about this trip. There is also an excellent bibliography of additional reading, featuring Cahill's favorite books about Yellowstone.
Was able to fit this into 2018 ATY #17. a book I expected to make me laugh.
