5.0 out of 5 stars a really good 4wd guide book, August 23, 2006

By	L. Amrine "the book bell" (mesa, az. usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I found this very informative showing good facts and details, examples would be gps coordinates and road information (like you'll pass mine shaft on rt then road forks). One will find that the book also has a detailed road description in reverse, in case you are on a road traveling from the other end. You will also love the maps, lots of them, on every page. Then on each page the author talks about what hazards to look for and what sights to see, goes into good overall detail, very well done. The book goes over facts of 4 wheeling for the novice and the pro so that all can enjoy the outdoors and be safe at the same time. When traveling these roads you'll have the guide next to you with page marked for constant referance. Take your camera and a tripod to record your trip.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, January 4, 2007

By	M. Locht (So Cal, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had the So Cal book for a few years and love it, so I expected this book to be just like that but of a different region/state. The AZ book doesn't have the same amount of information. The trails are just as detailed with GPS points but I wanted to say that I feel that the author didn't put as much time into this one and thats why not rated a 5. Its still a great book and in my opinion still the best choice out there for anyone who likes the road less traveled and own any type of SUV. There is great information about all the trail's history, color pictures and the rating system is something that you could trust before you hit the trails.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!!!!, January 9, 2007

By	Richard (California) - See all my reviews

I found that this book was great for our off road adventures in our new Jeep. The area we visited was Sedona and Jerome, AZ, area. What we liked about this book is the odometer readings were very exact, that the book had you zero out your odometer frequently and reset the odometer. The descriptions of the off road trails were very accurate. The rating systems for difficulty factor and scenic factor are very realistic. Also the milege of the trip and the time it takes to finish the route are included in each trip. You can also use GPS coordinates.
