This updated version is a fantastic list of the best hikes throughout the region. Includes the most important features of each location, and is helpfully organized by both distance and geographic area. I especially appreciate the detailed driving directions and GPS coordinates of each trailhead. I already have of list of my future hiking destinations.

Very helpful information on hiking trails, with details of type of scenery you will see, difficulty of terrain, expected crowds, etc. Excellent source.

This book is a great resource for those in the Saint Louis area. I've been hiking around this area for 15-20 years and still hadn't known about many of the hikes listed in this guide. It covers all the classic spots around here, but has some more obscure ones too. Of course, the 60 miles thing is a bit of a stretch, but most of the further ones are well worth the drive. Best regional hiking resource I've found.

I'm giving this book 5 stars! LOVE IT! We go hiking all over missouri, and this book has shown us several new and cool places. We still have a lot more to do, and I will use this book many more times and get my money's worth! I like the maps that are inside because when you go to trails they don't always have a map, but this book pictures them all, so I think thats the best part. Don't go hiking without it!

The author goes to extensive detail on each hike. Describing all aspects of the hike. For those of you out there, like me, he also added a side bar summary with the pertinent details. My family has discovered places that were less than 15 minutes from the house to add to our weekly hike night.
