We have researched hiking books and bought some but this is the BEST we've found yet. It's very detailed and reader friendly. The maps are great!! If you want a GREAT hiking guide, buy this one. The biggest help throughout the book is the fact that you are given "ratings" of diffuculty and the mileage. Believe it or not, there are guides out there that do give give these 2 basic pieces of very much needed information.

If you are just getting into hiking or are a seasoned trail rat you'll appreciate this book. I found a couple of jewels very near from the book that I had no idea were so close.
