This review is from: Arizona's Best Wildflower Hikes: The High Country (Paperback)
Many not that familiar with Arizona do not know that it is much more diverse than just desert. it is also forests and alpine mountains full of trees and flowers equal to any western state.
like the other two volumes in this series, christine maxa provides extensive detail about what flowers you will see on a good selection of hikes. in fact, she tells you step by step as you go along the trail what specific flowers you will see and exactly where to look. 75% of the pictures are small flower closeups rather than panoramic pictures of flowers in the larger context of a scenic wildplace (a mild disappointment). the guide also has simple directional hiking maps and trail following notes, detail about elevation, the best season, directions to the trailhead, etc. the overall production quality of this Westcliffe published book is very high, with use of high photo grade paperstock and added graphic design work that makes this guide very colorful.
Recommended.
