Hiking Trails of Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock and Citico Creek Wil,
By L. Clayton Parker (Destin, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hiking Trails of the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock and Citco Creek Wildernesses (Paperback)
Tim Homan has done a great job of describing the trails of the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock and Citico Creek Wildernesses. Although the format is more oriented towards a readability style rather than a guidebook style, all the essential information was there and in a clear concise manner. He includes several maps that are useful, but I would have given it a higher rating if the maps had been more detailed.

Great trail guide; very accurate and informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hiking Trails of the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock and Citco Creek Wildernesses (Paperback)
Homan delivers a comprehensive and usuable trail guide-one of the best I have seen. A recent trip to the area he describes would not have been as successful without it-like where to find a water source near our camping site.

Good directions, but not very detailed maps,

This review is from: Hiking Trails of the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock and Citco Creek Wildernesses (Paperback)
I bought this book, because I visited the area in June and want to go back in November. This is challenging wilderness to naviagate, and I wouldn't suggest you do it without a GPS. I too wish that the maps had been more detailed, the Tellico Plains map available through the Ranger station is more so. It is a great book, just was hoping for more knowledge gained, and it basically told me what I already know.
