2.0 out of 5 stars Dilettante hikers-this is your book!, June 26, 2000

This review is from: DAY HIKES IN THE GRAND TETONS AND JACKSON HOLE WYOMING, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

This book is fine for beginner climbers who want to hike the easiest and best known trails in the area.

Stone gives a brief (maybe too brief) description of over 40 hikes and good directions on how to get to each trailhead.

For those of you looking for longer, less well known, and more challenging hikes, I would recommend Hiking Grand Teton National Park by Bill Schneider. This book lists more hikes (easy, moderate, and hard) and gives more complete descriptions on what to expect on each hike.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, May 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Day Hikes in the Grand Tetons & Jackson Hole, Wyoming (Day Hike Guides) (Paperback)

As a seasoned hiker, I purchased this book looking for a few great day hikes. There are only 9 hikes in this book and none of them really qualify as hikes, more like long walks with no gain in elevation. I paid $10 and really felt like I wasted $10.
