More About the Author

Charles A. Wells graduated from Ohio State University in 1969 with a degree in graphic design. After practicing design in Ohio, he moved to Colorado Springs in 1980 and worked 18 years in the printing business. Over the years, he and his family enjoyed a wide array of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, rafting and skiing. He bought an SUV in 1994 and immediately got addicted to exploring the backcountry. He later joined a four-wheel-drive club and learned more about hardcore four-wheeling.
Dissatisfied with the four-wheel-drive guidebooks on the market, he decided to write his own. His first book on Colorado sold well enough for him to leave his regular job to write full time. He presently has six SUV/Jeeping books on the market-two on Colorado, one on Moab, one on Arizona and two on California, visit www.funtreks.com. He also started down a new path with a brand new ATV book on Moab. More SUV and ATV books are planned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charles A. Wells - your Arizona back country guide!, August 7, 2004

This review is from: Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails (Paperback)
We just did a 3 week loop through Arizona, Utah, and Colorado and used Charles A. Wells books for each of those states for planning and navigation. We were extremely happy with these books as guides as we would have had no idea of were to go wheeling with out them.
Very well written and detailed trail descriptions. The maps and overall layout of the books were very friendly and easy to use especially while on the trail. We tried to hit as many of the authors favorite trails as we could and were not disapointed! We also noticed that the volumes were recognized and apparently respected by local tour guides that we met along the trails - a good sign. Some of the volumes included GPS coordinates which were a helpful reference. A mapping GPS makes a good companion to all of these books as you can match your GPS generated progress to any of the books fine maps.

The only down side as another reviewer pointed out, is that the binding of one or two of the books did give up but only because of its high use/abuse on our 3 week trip - don't let that stop you from buying though. (I'm going to move the pages to a binder)

You will be pleased with your purchase!

Thank you Mr. Wells

4.0 out of 5 stars Guide to Arizona Backroads and 4 wheel drive, September 16, 2005
This review is from: Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails (Paperback)
This book is a good starter for the person who doesn't know any locals in the area to take them 4 wheeling. I have a stock SUV and have done 4 trails, it was great fun. The book provides GPS coordinates to help with trail finding, however they seem to be off by about a mile or two. Perhaps the Waypoints were taken when selective avaliability was still active. I would rate this book as a 5 if the Waypoints were accurate. Trail finding is made somewhat easier by the accurate turn by turn directions based on odometer readings.

All in all, if you want a beautiful tour of Arizona that not many people get, get this book and see the sights. Go with a buddy and take some moderate trails. Eventually you will catch yourself wanting to lift your rig, and get lockers for it too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great trail guide for those starting out, February 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails (Paperback)
I just recently moved to AZ and didnt know my way around the trails at all. I purchased this book and have been very happy with it! It documents alot of trails in different parts of the state (so you can flip to which part your in). It states the historical significance and the navigation data for getting there. GPS users might find that it doesnt list enough navaids but for those without it explains in detail where to start your odometer for each segment of the trail.

Overall great buy.
