5.0 out of 5 stars Great book with great suggestions and cautions, July 31, 2000
This review is from: Classic Treks: The 30 Most Spectacular Hikes in the World (Hardcover)
I greatly enjoyed this book. The pictures and advice have prooved to be accurate and timely. The only addition I would add would be alternatives to trips that last longer than 3 or 4 days. It's a great book with great and useful information. I would recommend if for anyone who likes to dream of vacation well in advance and for whom planning and anticipation is half the fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book... pictures and information could be better., August 22, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Treks: The 30 Most Spectacular Hikes in the World (Hardcover)
Having been to 5 of the 30 I have noticed that the hikes are most definitely spectacular, but the photos in this book are not. They are nice, just not spectacular and if you are a professional photographer in front of something spectacular then you should be able to take a spectacular photograph.

Do not think you can plan a trip on the infomation in this book. It gives you a basic overview and a place to start your research.

The list of 30 is great and I hope that I can finish them all. I finished the longest in the book last summer and it was truly spectacular.
