thanks

if you are looking to go hiking in the superstitions, this is the book for you. very detailed descriptions of trails and maps to go along with it. book was in very good condition, just like you said. thanks.

Outstanding and Comprehensive

This is the best guide to the Superstitions I have found, it has many hikes in it, as well as the lore and legend of the region and all its past inhabitants. The pictures are in black and white, but the trail descriptions are so good, you can visualize it in color! Excellent information about the difficulty ratings, the trailheads, what you might need to take, weather patterns, and lots of info of past denizens of the region and things you might encounter from those times. All of this, along with some of the most interesting terrain available and scenic landmarks, what more could a hiker want. Get the boots and the pack and head out!! UPDATE:8/23/08. This book is currently available at the Superstition Mountain Museum in Apache Junction, Arizona

A fascinating book!

Even if you're not interested in hiking, the history herein will fascinate you. And who knows, you may wish to take up hiking as a hobby just to see the places described here!

A highly recommend book you will use over and over again.

The trail descriptions are well done. The topographical maps make this book a tool for any hiker. A "History and Legends" segment after each hike adds to the excitement.

Great Hiking Book with clear trailguides and good stories.

This is an outstanding hiking book on this area. It brings to life the stories and legends of the Superstitions while giving the hiker step by step instructions to the trails. The photos add to the stories and help the reader with visual images of the characters or trails. One of the best hiking books I have ever read. The format is direct and helps the reader to follow the trails and the related stories. Recommended book for anyone interested in the History of Arizona and the Superstition Mountains. Also an indespensible tool while hiking the Wilderness Areas of the Superstition Mountains. Great Book !!
