5.0 out of 5 stars
Canyon trekking at it's best!,
By Joe Bartels "Author/Photographer HikeArizona.COM" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Canyoneering Arizona: Hiking and Exploring the Streambeds, Gorges and Slots of Arizona (Hiking & Biking) (Paperback)
As an avid Arizona hiker I am flat out pumped to get my hands on this awesome book. I kid you not, you will sleep with this book until you memorize every line of information offered. Arizona's canyon country is revealed. Finally a book that acknowledges Arizona has so much more to offer than the Grand Canyon. Adrenalin power punching slot canyons, narrows, waterfalls, creeks, streambeds, and gorges galore fill this book cover to cover! Trek information is included on each adventure. Canyon adventures for beginners to experts make this book a valuable tool for all. Trip description, length, time needed, difficulty, maps and directions complete the package! If you plan on hiking Arizona you need this book!

You catch the author's enthusiasm,

This review is from: Canyoneering Arizona: Hiking and Exploring the Streambeds, Gorges and Slots of Arizona (Hiking & Biking) (Paperback)
When you pick up this book, don't worry that it'll be just another dry guidebook. The author shares his love of Arizona in his attention to detail, enthusiastic descriptions, history and geology synopses, and sprinkled opinions on wilderness preservation. All the practical advice is there: how to get to a hike, time estimates, and equipment recommendations; but on top of that, you get the sense of why it's worthwhile to explore these places and treasure them. And the photos are great!

This guidebook is a pleasure to read and look at. Not only are there great photos of incredible places, but the descriptions of the routes are a joy to read...they really peak your interest. The author obviously has a love for his subject. The book is very easy to use and navigate through. The maps are detailed but consise. One of the best guidebooks I've seen!
