Veteran hiker Bruce Grubbs guides the outdoorsperson on 75 treks through the pristine Three Sisters Country of Oregon's Central Cascades. Volcanoes and old-growth forests await those looking for accessible, yet uncrowded, adventure. Along with overnight trips and hikes of interest to photographers, the author emphasizes shorter and easier hikes to introduce this special region to first-time hikers.
Eighty-six hikes in and around Flagstaff and Sedona.
These books introduce diverse spectacular back country, including nationally famous regions, as well as little known and uncrowded areas. In addition, they give detailed descriptions of hikes with maps and photos, including sections on hiking techniques, ethics and permit information and information on the natural history and history of the people of the area.
On the Nevada-Utah border lies uncrowded Great Basin National Park. This guide includes 21 hikes for beginners and non-hikers as well as experienced backpackers. Park visitors will discover the area's diverse landscape -- desert sagebrush flats, pinyon-juniper forests, pine-fir forests, and alpine tundra. To aid in trip planning, the author categorizes hikes, such as easy day hikes, long day hikes, and first night in the wilderness. Hikes are also listed for particular user-groups, such as photographers, "peak baggers", and parents with small children.
