4.0 out of 5 stars
An absolute must for hikers on Guam,
By "peruman" (Guam, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best Tracks on Guam (Mass Market Paperback)
For those who like to get out and see their surroundings, this book is ideal. Dave describes how to get to pretty much everything worth seeing on Guam. Be forewarned though, this book isn't for sissies looking for easily accessible locations. Each hike or 'trek' is rated by level of difficulty, with the most difficult be exactly that. Just because the author managed to get there, don't assume you can. The pictures are great and nicely depict each hike. Some instructions are vague, but if you do the hike, you will understand why. Guam is jungle and sometimes there just aren't any good landmarks. Included GPS coordinates are usefull for those who truly prepared. This book is a must for the outdoors type who visit Guam.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Best Tracks on Guam (Paperback)
This is a great book for those that like hiking aka boonie stomping. We currently live in Guam and have done several hikes so far and plan to do many more. Be aware though the grass is over grown and your going to get dirty! We take our small children and they have a blast.

Dave Lotz is a legend!,
This review is from: The Best Tracks on Guam (Paperback)
The man is a legend on Guam - he is "The Ultimate Paramount Boonie Stomping Leader of all time".
If you are planning a trip to Guam, get this book! We lived there for three years and the guide is the bible of Boonie Stomping. Five star rating...
