4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for easy day hikes,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Best Easy Day Hikes Rocky Mountain National Park (Best Easy Day Hikes Series) (Paperback)
I bought this in preparation for a 5 day trip to RMNP with my husband and 3 year old son. We wanted to pick a variety of hikes that we could do with our son, and this book fit the bill. The book tells you how to get to the trail head, what you will see in regards to scenery and what animal life you may view on the trail. It also provides the round trip distance and elevation change on the hike. Some pics would have been nice, but that's OK. The scenery in RMNP is so much more amazing in person. If you are looking for a book that tells you about every possible hike in the park or some of the more challenging summit hikes, you should look elsewhere. However, if you are visiting for a vacation and want to keep you hikes between 0.5 to 6 miles round trip, this book will provide several excellent options.

OK,
This review is from: Best Easy Day Hikes Rocky Mountain National Park (Best Easy Day Hikes Series) (Paperback)
This guide is OK, but not nearly as good as ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK DAYHIKER'S GUIDE.
