1.0 out of 5 stars Duplicate effort, February 11, 2002

By	Harley Bartlett (Ramona, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This little version of the bigger book provided nothing beyond what's in Exploring Canyonlands & Arches. I found the same typographical errors, the same sentences and content... Not worth the extra money if you have the other...

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful if you are new to Arches and Canyonlands, July 11, 2002

By	Sherry Lipp "Sher973" (Bothell) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book outlines some of the shorter hikes in Arches and Canyonlands National parks. I found it very useful, as it gave the distance of each hike and a brief description of what the trail was like, easy or difficult etc. I did find a few of the descriptions somewhat deceptive, as some of the hikes were more difficult than described, some of the "slight inclines" were actually pretty steep and required some climbing, which would be difficult for some people. However overall this book gives a good overview of the parks. The book itself is small enough to carry along with you, so it can be referred to at any time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bill Schneider's Hiking Guides, May 15, 2000

By	Ray Rasmussen (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews

Many people think that the best way to see these two greatcanyonlands parks is to drive through them. But you will have no senseof these places unless you get out of your car and take a walk. You don't have to be a backpacker to experience these places on foot. Schneider's book is a great for short, medium and long day hikes hikes and for finding the hike that is best for you and your physical condition.
