Customer Reviews

A very useful guide for Arizona trail riders

My riding partner and I have used Jan Hancock's guide to explore many of the trails around the Phoenix area with our horses. The book is usually right on the money in terms of descriptions of the trails, amenities, level of difficulty, etc. I highly recommed the book for those looking for horseback adventures. My wish is that Ms. Hancock would do a third edition updating information on newer trail systems such as the Arizona Trail, as well as bed and breakfast and horse camping facilities for equestrians around the state.

A Great Book, but I Wish it Had More

This is a great book, full of information about 42 locations in Arizona that feature horseback riding trails. We've explored a few of the trails and found the descriptions very thorough and accurate. But Arizona is a big state and only a handful of the locations can be reached within a few hours by car/horse trailer. There are MANY other locations that aren't as widely known that could have been included. For example, there are at least four good trail riding areas right here in Wickenburg, yet none of them are covered. I'd love to see the author expand the book to cover more of the less-known trails. I'm sure he could find plenty of local horseback riding clubs that could fill him in on the "secret" trails in their areas. Otherwise, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the book to anyone looking for someplace new to ride.

Great for the Az. trail riders!

This is a great way to discover and ride new trails. The author has complete maps and levels of difficulty for all the rides. It's a good book to stick in your saddle bag and carry with you. We have ridden many of the trails and find the discriptions in the book to be accurate.
