3.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but it is missing some classic hikes for kids., March 31, 2003

By A Customer

This book is too small. It doesn't have enough in it. It is missing Phoenix hikes with children like "Hole In the Rock." There are no hikes listed for Phoenix except Camelback which is crazy. Everything is in the North and South. It would be best called "Best Hikes with Chidlren in Northern and Southern Arizona. Phoenix is curiously ommitted, and I know that there are many great hikes in Phoenix.

I am now buying more books after purchasing this book. It is too small. It doesn't have enough in it. It is missing classics in Phoenix like "Hole In the Rock." There are no hikes listed for phoenix except Camelback which is crazy. Everything is in the South or North. It would be best called "Best Hikes with Chidlren in Northern and Southern Arizona. It certainly missing Phoenix...buy another book...

If you are a hiker and live or are going to visit Arizona....and have kids...get this book. Tells about the hikes..the length...if better for older or younger children and we found some hikes in there we had never heard of...must have!!
