This review is from: Day Hikes in Sedona, Arizona (Paperback)

you are planning on going on hikes longer than an hour or two. In fact the title should be "Hour hikes in Sedona, Arizona". My wife and I recently visited Sedona with the intent of hiking for a couple days with some short hikes and some all day opportunities. Sadly this book lists only the short hikes and incredibally fails to even mention that many of the great short walks can be extended through other adjoining trails (not mentioned). Most of the information (maps, description of trails etc..) contained in the book, and much more, can be easily obtained through the Sedona visitor center for free!

This review is from: Day Hikes in Sedona, Arizona (Paperback)

I wanted to learn more about back country hiking in Sedona. Once I read this book, I knew what I needed to know quickly. This book is very helpful in reviewing many hikes in the area, with maps as well as distance and estimated time of hike. Very good reading and the best hikes are reviewed. I would highly recommend this book for anyone visiting this area.

This book contains only a tiny subset of what's available in Sedona, and only the most passive hikers will find any value whatsoever in it.

"Sedona Guide: Day Hiking and Sightseeing Arizona's Red Rock Country" by Steve Krause and Teresa Henkle is vastly superior to this book (and, ironically, less expensive).
