Discovery awaits

For most travelers Flagstaff is merely a motel stop on the way to somewhere else. But when you learn that Flagstaff is in the middle of the largest ponderosa pine forest in America, and the largest continuous volcanic field including the tallest mountain in Arizona, it figures that Flagstaff should have some natural attractions of its own. For years these attractions were local secrets, even secret from the locals. Then the Mangums published this book, which is THE guide to hiking in northern Arizona. The Mangums are a 19th century northern Arizona pioneer family, so they know the territory as no outsider can. They know the history of trails and sites too, and offer many historical nuggests that make hiking more fun. This guide book offers a wide range of hikes, and its maps and driving and trail descriptions are quite reliable. Most importantly, the Mangums hike for the right reasons, not as an exercise in gonzo athletics, but for the joy of discovering the beauty of nature and the trail of history.
