5.0 out of 5 stars A nice JTree overview, August 5, 2005
By 
B. Leff (Washington DC area, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joshua Tree: The Complete Guide (Paperback)
The book provides great ideas for trips within the park for any user. I spent 5 days climbing in JTree but enjoyed finding out from the book what the Joshua tree actually is and going on a hike to see some petroglyphs. The photographs are very vivid and the campground maps are very useful (although an overall map with the campground locations would be useful too).

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good general guide, January 3, 2009
By 
Marcus Peacock (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
National Park guides are tough because it can be hard to find one that is able to provide the right amount of information you may want on wildlife, hiking trails, campgrounds, fauna, birdwatching, weather, nice photographs, and, this case, rock climbing. For the number of pages and the price, this book strikes an excellent balance on all these items. The maps, in particular, provided both macro- and micro- views of the Park. It was also logically organized so it was easy to refind items. Finally, it included two fine hikes (Inspiration Point and a spur hike to some ruins) that we could not have possibly found without the book.

My only complaint was the binding. The cover of the book fell off after two days of moderate handling. A shame, since the map on the inside cover was one of the most helpful.
