This review is from: Canyonlands National Park Favorite Jeep Roads & Hiking Trails (Paperback)
The official NPS maps and guide-books are very lame, mostly because of the fear that ancient ruins and art could be vandalized. This book is therefore indispensable to a truly fulfilling visit to Canyonlands. The maps and directions are perfect--just enough detail to be clear and to keep you from getting lost, but they don't deprive you of feeling like you're actually doing some exploring and route-finding.

This book is fantastic!,
By Hiking Mommy (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canyonlands National Park Favorite Jeep Roads & Hiking Trails (Paperback)
Canyonlands is a wild and wonderful place to explore. I would have been lost without this book. I was able to decide ahead of time what areas of the park I wanted to spend the most time in by reading the detailed descriptions of jeep roads and trails. The beautiful color photographs helped me make decisions as well. I found the maps to be extremely helpful and the estimated travel times to be very accurate. David Day knows his stuff!

Something new in Hiking Books,
This review is from: Canyonlands National Park Favorite Jeep Roads & Hiking Trails (Paperback)
This is a Great book for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. By including a focus on the jeep roads of the Canyonlands area David Day has provided the hiker with information necessary for access to its fantastic hiking trails. The format is similar to his other hiking books. The maps and trail descriptions and commentary are not only helpful but very interesting. The photography is great. I particularly enjoyed the section of color photos I like his trail overview which includes a rating of his enjoyment of the trail.
I've made a couple of the hikes he writes up and with the help of his book I will be doing more.
