Review
"This is an excellent resource for the avid backpacker to the occasional dayhiker. This guide provides the information necessary for planning simple or multi-day trips to diverse locations around Alabama. The trails covered in the book are, in my opinion, the best in the state."-Tom Lamb, American Hiking Society
"Alabama Trails is a useful source of basic information for state hikers, scouts, wildflower fans, and birders. Its logical organization and readability will make it a must book for Alabama natural history enthusiasts." "Alabama Trails not only belongs in every Alabama library; it belongs in the back pockets of everybody walking those trails."--John C. Hall, The Alabama Museum of Natural History

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book to orient yourself on many trails in Alabama,
By A Customer
This review is from: Alabama Trails (Paperback)
Probably the best, if not the only, book availiable on trails in the state. I have met Patricia and she is a very informed person on the state of our trails in the state. This book is a good book to carry with you in a backpack though it could have been a little smaller for better packing. If you plan on hiking any trails in AL, I recommend you buy this book first.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Dangerously out of date, not very inclusive.,
By Jarod Fleming "Jarod" (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alabama Trails (Paperback)
This guide is 15 years old and with that age many of the trails have been changed substantially (Pinhoti Trl) and some no longer exist at all (ie Lookout Mountain Trail). Do not use this book as a stand alone resource.
Also in the past 15 years there have been alot of new trails opened that are not included (Huntsville Land Trust trails).
