Editorial Reviews

10/11/2024

These excellent guides are organized in a straightforward manner that helps hikers get on the trail as fast as possible. They do not all begin the same way, nor are they all organized in like fashion, but they all offer the same high level of information and cover a multitude of hikes of different types. The level of detail in this series is impressive, with mileage cues, GPS coordinates for trailheads, hikes for all kinds of adventurers (plus adventurous kids and dogs), photos, and loads of tips. Each hike listing includes information about the terrain, distance, time, difficulty, accessibility, land-use status, nearest town, and points of interest, plus trail name changes, available maps, and more (depending on the hike and what the series' experienced authors think is important). Even dining and accommodations are considered, and there's information on weather and flora and fauna, plus contact details for parks and organizations. VERDICT Libraries should consider these essential if they are located within the region of any title in the series and may want to buy titles covering popular areas farther afield.
