From the Back Cover

With its rugged mountains, high plains, desert prairies, and canyonlands, Wyoming presents hikers with a spectacular array of backcountry opportunities. Many areas—from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks to the Wind River Range—are well known, but they represent only a fraction of Wyoming’s hiking possibilities. The 108 hikes and two major options in Hiking Wyoming cover many of the well-known areas but also introduce hikers to some of the state’s best-kept backcountry secrets. Completely updated and revised, this new edition of Hiking Wyoming features hikes throughout the state that are suited to day hikers and veteran backpackers alike—the perfect source book for exploring Wyoming’s wild and beautiful backcountry.

• Difficulty ratings and elevation gains/losses, for every featured hike

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hiking Guide, August 3, 2008

This review is from: Hiking Wyoming, 2nd: 110 of the State's Best Hiking Adventures (State Hiking Series) (Paperback)

I just spent 2 weeks hiking in Wyoming making extensive use of this guide. It is enchanting and accurate, a combination rarely found in hiking guides. Of the many guides I have used over the years, covering the Unites States and Europe, this one ranks among the very best. The author obviously knows the hikes he recommends, he describes very clearly how to find the railheads, and provides all the necessary information to an extraordinary experience in Wyoming.
