Also, there are no useable trail maps and for certain regions there are no high-level, base maps either, so no maps at all.I would use the book to get trip ideas but i would not venture to the backcountry based only on the information contained in here. This is in contrast to Alan Kane's somewhat similar "Scrambles in the Rockies", which we have used (in summer) as the sole source for many, many successful scrambles. |
