5.0 out of 5 stars Jack knows his 4-WD Trails!, January 30, 1999

This review is from: Backcountry Moab - Where The Tours Don't Go (Mass Market Paperback)

Jack Bickers knows his 4-WD trails. This is a wonderful book and the 4th in the Series. I found it great reading and very useful in the field. If you want to go where few people visit, this book will take you there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice in many ways; but disappointing, March 24, 2002

This review is from: Backcountry Moab - Where The Tours Don't Go (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a fan of the Colorado Plateau, particularly southeastern and eastern Utah. I have visited the Moab area several times, and bought the present volume with great anticipation. I like it, but......

Some the directions are a bit confusing, without a map being handy. I would have anticipated either an enclosure or an insert. A minor thing, perhaps.

The second, major disappointment lies in the fact that the book, except for its two color photos on the covers, has all photos in a black-white format. The area around Moab is remarkable for its multi-color rock formations. The brown of the Entrada, the cream of Navajo, the red of the Wingate, and the chocolate of the Moenkopi rocks each carry that layer's signature, and also provide a valuable guidepost for the tourist familiar with the differences. Here, the reader is denied that information. I wish the blurb for the book would have told me more about the photo layout.

So, even though the text of the book is sufficient for the most part, the foregoing factors prevent me from giving a higher rating than I do.
