4.0 out of 5 stars Sedona Guide: Day Hiking and Sightseeing, January 10, 2000

This review is from: Sedona Guide: Day Hiking and Sightseeing Arizona's Red Rock Country (Paperback)

My wife and I spent about 10 days dayhiking in the Sedona vicinity. We found this guide much more satisfactory than any of the pamphlets or maps obtained in tourist information sites. The guide gives good directions to trail heads and lists them in catagories from easy to challenging, and from scenic to most interesting. An accurate discription of the hike and what you will see is also found in the guide. If you're not a hiker, there is also a guide to sightseeing spots accessible from roads. A short history of Sedona is included, and even a list of old Western movies that were shot in the area. I would recommend this guide to anyone who would be visiting the Sedona area.

This review is from: Sedona Guide: Day Hiking and Sightseeing Arizona's Red Rock Country (Paperback)

62 trails and sightseeing hot spots covered in this book. 16 of the spots are roadside or treks under a quarter mile. Each entry includes a superb historical review and a short trail description. Trails are grouped into eight areas. Each area contains an overview map. Tables also categorize trails from easiest to most challenging. Other useful tables list trails by vortex, ruins, vistas and more. Page fourteen maps out the labyrinth of rock formations. To date I have hiked over half the trails listed. As an avid hiker and Webmaster of HikeArizona.COM I can truly recommend this book.

I acquired this book to help our gang of 4 couples decide where to hike and where not to hike. It was the most useful of several books that we had available. All the information was up to date and useful to us and helped us avoid crowds, get to where we wanted to be at the right time with the correct amount of gear. The group had a very wide range of abilities from very good to where is the elevator? It permitted people to pick and choose which hike to take and when to "take a hike"
