This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: St Louis: Including Sullivan, Potosi, and Farmington (Paperback)
I love this book. I got it after seeing it on [...]. Good detailed description of the hiking trails and highlights on the trail. I like the hiking maps, very simple but you get some idea of the shape of the trail. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good hiking guide of Southeastern Missouri.

I am a big fan of Steve Henry. This is a great book and is a must have for anyone interested in hiking the show me state. Trails, maps, and directions are all accurate and easy to read. The author also includes detailed info about each hike that will further enhance your adventures. I also own Steves mountain biking and camping books and they are excellent as well.
