M. John Fayhee tells the story of his trip along the Arizona Trail. Jerry Sieve captures the beauty of the trail in stunning photography. Fayhee does a great job of keeping the reader excited. My favorite area the Four Peaks Wilderness is not very well represented. Nevertheless I highly recommend this book!
can't get enough of Arizona
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The photography in this book is unbelievable, and were it not for the requirement to note when photos are retouched in the computer, I would have believed they were "illustrations." I can never look at enough photographs of Arizona, but this unique stretch of trail which runs 750 miles from Mexico to Utah is a never ending string of contrasts, diversity and astounding beauty.Jerry Sieve, the author, must be a book designers dream. He writes in strings of 20 word "pull quotes" and has done a great job of describing the trials and tribulations of hiking the unfinished Arizona Trail with a wonderful sense of humor. With the exception of a few stinging criticisms - the filthy air of Phoenix, road warriors in popular camp grounds, outdated topographic maps, etc. - he is as enthusiastic as those of us in Arizona about this monumental project and the opportunity for long distance non-motorized trail use that it provides.You may have to purchase a new coffee table for this book!
The photos are almost as beautiful as the real thing!
