.Hiking the Grand Canyon City Travel Guides > Books > Sierra Club by: John Annerino March 20, 2006 I hike rim to rim to rim several times a year in the Grand Canyon, so I know the inner corridor trails pretty well. This book should now be considered the definitive guide for hiking in the Grand Canyon and the strong points of this book are worth noting. The maps are excellent, as are the descriptions of how to get to trail head. However, the book is incomplete in certain areas and outdated. The Grand Canyon has implemented a shuttle system to stem the horrific crowds (I don't see much improvement) and hikers now can't drive to the South Kaibab trail or Hermit's Rest trail. The directions in this book are therefore rendered confusing due to the new restrictions. Most importantly, the authors neglect to stress that in order to successfully ...

.The Sierra Club Guides to the National Parks of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska City Travel Guides > Books > Sierra Club by: Sierra Club November 14, 1995 There are no more beautifully written or pictured guides to the national parks than this series put out by the Sierra Club. For a historical, geological, and biological snapshot of a park, no book does it better. If you need very specific information, contacting the park is your best bet. There is some information about trails, camping, contact info, etc. The main purpose of the book, however, is to give you an understanding about all aspects of the park. These books are truly treasured in our home. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Sierra Club Guides to the National Parks of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska |

.Sierra Club: Exploring the Yellowstone Backcountry City Travel Guides > Books > Sierra Club by: Orville Bach May 26, 1998 This is the best trails book for any of the mountain states national parks. I have not found a book for Glacier or Rocky Mountain National parks as good as this book. The Kent and Donna Dannen guide to RMNP comes close. This book may look as if it is for backpackers, but it has lots of info for day hikes, too. >>See More Reviews & Details on Sierra Club: Exploring the Yellowstone Backcountry |

.Adventuring in Southern Africa City Travel Guides > Books > Sierra Club by: Allen Bechky October 28, 1997 ...I bought this book to make plans for a trip to Zambia but the chapter about this country is only 40 pages long, both verbose and superficial. Don't get fooled by the "Adventuring" in the title, unless your idea of adventure is to hop by plane from lodge to lodge at $200 or $300 a night. More importantly, except for the park entrance fees, this book doesn't list any price at all (I got them from two other, excellent, travel guides). Comments on cheaper accomodations are few and disenchanted. The maps are equally few and over-simplified (the roads don't even appear!...) Finally, I looked at the chapters about the other countries and it certainly didn't change my opinion about this book. Note also that the date of the last edition (October ...
