Description

Explore some of the easiest and most rewarding hikes through Utah, Arizona, and Colorado's otherworldly landscapes—with descriptions of the unique flora, fauna, and geology any hiker can discover along the trail.

From the towering cliffs of Zion to the ancient dwellings of Mesa Verde; from the bighorn sheep of Arches National Park to the Martian-looking landscapes of the Petrified Forest—each trail featured in Southwest Canyon Country's Best Nature Walks beckons with the promise of adventure and discovery.   

But these are not the epic treks of seasoned adventurers or the grueling expeditions of intrepid explorers. Instead, these are brief excursions—often chosen for being less crowded and for their proximity to the road—that can be enjoyed by families, solo travelers, and nature enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat into the wilderness or simply craving a breath of fresh air, this book has something for everyone.

This is an awesome handbook that every visitor to the four corners area needs to have on hand.

All of the lovely national parks have some unique spots to hike to. This little nugget of awesome information shares the length of the trails, the rate of the trails (easy vs. moderate) and all that you can look for on the trail. It also goes into details, with photos, of the types of fauna and foliage in the area. The back of the book, with an index, categorizes each group (animal vs. plant vs. insects, etc). The pictures are also fantastic to refer to.

I highly recommend this one for the four corners area. I'll be grabbing a personal copy since I live in the area. This will be fun to go see all the attractions and it will be easy hikes that average about one and half miles. Perfect!

An excellent guide - trail by trail - to great Southwestern walks. Graded by length and ease, with information on pet access and disabled accessibility, each trail also comes with a chatty description that highlights the scenery and the ecology and gives helpful advice on footwear and attire. Lavishly illustrated, the landscapes are beckoning. I want to rush and try them all. A handsome and useful guide.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
