5.0 out of 5 stars
can't get enough of Arizona, September 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Along the Arizona Trail (Hardcover)
The photography in this book is unbelievable, and were it not for the requirement to note when photos are retouched in the computer, I would have believed they were "illustrations." I can never look at enough photographs of Arizona, but this unique stretch of trail which runs 750 miles from Mexico to Utah is a never ending string of contrasts, diversity and astounding beauty. Jerry Sieve, the author, must be a book designers dream. He writes in strings of 20 word "pull quotes" and has done a great job of describing the trials and tribulations of hiking the unfinished Arizona Trail with a wonderful sense of humor. With the exception of a few stinging criticisms - the filthy air of Phoenix, road warriors in popular camp grounds, outdated topographic maps, etc. - he is as enthusiastic as those of us in Arizona about this monumental project and the opportunity for long distance non-motorized trail use that it provides. You may have to purchase a new coffee table for this book!

"Along the Arizona Trail" delivers!, December 31, 1998
This review is from: Along the Arizona Trail (Hardcover)
M. John Fayhee tells the story of his trip along the Arizona Trail. Jerry Sieve captures the beauty of the trail in stunning photography. Fayhee does a great job of keeping the reader excited. My favorite area the Four Peaks Wilderness is not very well represented. Nevertheless I highly recommend this book!
