This review is from: 75 Great Hikes: In and Near Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley (Paperback)

While a hike book of the Palm Springs is very welcome, this volume is of little help for those not already familiar with the area. The directions to the trailheads are adequate, but it is very difficult to follow the author's directions once on the trail. There are few references to distance either in miles or time so the hiker does not knopw when to look for a described feature. Also the sketch maps provided provide little or no useful information.

As this is the only hike book to the area I have found, I would stongly advise the hiker to supplement it with a map and compass while actually trying to hike any of the described trails.
