100 Hikes in Arizona (Paperback)

~ Scott Warren (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The Soareses' guide to Northern California includes hikes in the San Francisco Bay area, the Trinity Alps, the Southern Cascade Range, and northern Sierra Nevada. Warren's Arizona guide, which starts with Grand Canyon trips and then roams around the state, includes the San Francisco Peaks, White Mountains, Mogollon Rim, Santa Catalinas, and Chiricahuas. Both these hiking guides follow a logical and useful format, starting with general comments on topography, climate, flora, and fauna. They then move to more specific detail on hiking difficulty, time (round-trip), elevation start, high (or low) point, season, and U.S. Geological Survey topo map reference. Well-written descriptions of each hike will give readers ample information to decide whether or not a hike is of interest to them. The useful format integrates a map (usually about half a page) and a photo of the surroundings into each approximately two-page entry. Recommended for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb compendium of AZ hikes, April 11, 2000

By A Customer

An excellent hiker's resource. Provides hikes all across the state and for all seasons. An overview map lets you select candidates by area. Each hike is well described. Each specifies distance, difficulty, altitude range, recommended season(s), topo quad and controlling authority (BLM office, Natl Forrest, park service, county, state, etc.) Each comes with a small map of the trail and road to trailhead, making trails easy to find and follow. For most hikes, this makes the topo unnecessary.
