If you plan on hiking any of the two parks this guide covers, this compact but thorough guide will be a real asset. Meant for the day hiker, it offers all the info you need to know. I particularly liked the fact that the author went out of his way to include info he might just as easily left out, such as where the shady spots are, which hikes have tough stretches, and which ones are appropriate for kids. Very well done and worth every penny.

Great for families who want to get out of the car and off the road to see the park. All of the advice was current and we enjoyed each of the hikes we chose.
