4.0 out of 5 stars
very good text but somewhat disappointing on the graphics
The book gives you roughly 100 pages of hiking trail descriptions, 50 pages of bike trails and 50 pages on snowtrails. The text is a smooth and detailed narrative, not just a list of a few facts about each trail's location, distance, major route turns, and elevation change as in many trail guides.

This review is from: San Juan Adventure Guide: Hiking, Biking, and Skiing in Southwestern Colorado (Paperback)
The book gives you roughly 100 pages of hiking trail descriptions, 50 pages of bike trails and 50 pages on snowtrails. The text is a smooth and detailed narrative, not just a list of a few facts about each trail's location, distance, major route turns, and elevation change as in many trail guides.
However- I expected more and better photos & maps based on the other evaluation of this book and the backcover proclaiming this to be a book from "a professional cartographer and award-winning photographer". There are about 20 black & white photos and a small insert of 10 color photos which are ok but not fully satisfying. The "maps" are minimal- small hand-drawn sketches of the region that only show bumps to represent "mountains" and major roads- but no trail lines, topographic details, or any real value.
