Kansas Hiker

Hiking Guide to Kansas is an excellent book. It gives detailed accounts for hiking trails through out the entire state of Kansas. It is well written in an easy to understand format, unlike some guide books where the author(s) seem to be talking down to the reader. I bought this book about five years ago and hiked about a quarter of the trails described. Contents of the book provides: maps, pictures, directions, and even if some of the trails are compatable for horse back riding, pets, or bicyles. The maps and directions are quite easy to follow; if you do not arrive at your desired location you did not pay attention to detail. I took a year off from hiking and started up again this year. I thought I had lost this book, I was actually moping around like a lost puppy, and was about to purchase another when I accidently found it on a book self. Though not as cleverly written as some other hiking guide books seem to claim, this is a very good guide book for hiking the Sunflower State. Bet many people out there do not even think that you can hike in Kansas.

Hiking in Kansas has never been as simple as it is now.

The Hiking Guide to Kansas is a high-quality guide to hiking trails in Kansas. There is no stone unturned. If you are going to be hiking in Kansas, you better bring this book with you! It is THE hiking guide for Kansas throughout the entire world!

This is the perfect book for when I hike Kansas trails.

I have always loved hiking in Kansas, but there has never been a really good book with the extensive detail that "Hiking Guide to Kansas" gives. The maps Young makes are very accurate, and the trail descriptions by Kate Hauber are excelent. I fully recommend this book to anyone who loves the outdoors in Kansas and wants an outstanding guide book.
