Customer Reviews

Learning new places in not so out of the way in Arizona

I was quit pleased about seeing so many places to go in Arizona that are not so far off the main highways. Where we can make a small detour, and have a great time. I have the California addition and have enjoyed it a great deal and am looking forward to seeing some of the sights next time I am going to Arizona.

A Must For The Rockhound

The Gem Trails guides are always the best choice for a rockhound unfamilar with an area. The site descriptions and maps are always very accurate.

Using the book in the field

After purchasing the book, I used it by going to some of the sites listed in the book and after being successful at two out of 5 of the sites I went to I would have to say that the book needs a new revised edition. But overall it is an outstanding book and a must for the rockhounds heading for Arizona.

Gem Trails of Arizona

I own three different revisions of this book. All are very useful for amateur rock hounds. My sons and I have visited about a dozen of the listed sites and all have produced nice specimens.
