4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough technical description of Moab area trails., May 15, 2000

By 

David T. Wojciechowski (Montana, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Above & Beyond Slickrock (Paperback)

Todd Campbell wrote this book from experience. His details regarding the trails, how to find them, what to watch for, and what to avoid, are excellent. Although written in as if a technical manual, (the lack of down-to-earth humor such as found in Cosmic Ray's books in Arizona) can be overlooked due to quality content. If you can secure both the Moab East and the Moab West topographical maps with the book, you will find the information infinitely more useful. Book contains details such as type of ride, length, difficulty, best seasons, elevation, land agencies, route summary, options, attractions, riding surface, logistics, trailhead access, and mileage log and route description.

Comprehensive and accurate descriptions of all of the most popular rides in Moab and the surrounding area. Great history, geology and insight into the local area. A must for any Moab cycling trip.

3.0 out of 5 stars Out of date, but still helpful for those who know already, September 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Above & Beyond Slickrock (Paperback)

I used this book for years and had a love/hate relationship with it. It got me lost lots of times, but also turned me onto some great rides. The real negative is that the book is woefully out of date and some of the rides have changed drastically. If you use it in conjunction with a more recent guidebook like Mountain Bike America:Moab then you will indeed have a powerful tool for deciphering Moab.
