Customer Reviews

Awesome guide

This book has beautiful pictures and really interesting insights on what the best trails are. We loved the ones we chose based on the guide. It worked perfectly for us during our two-day trip to Joshua Tree National Park.

A nice JTree overview

The book provides great ideas for trips within the park for any user. I spent 5 days climbing in JTree but enjoyed finding out from the book what the Joshua tree actually is and going on a hike to see some petroglyphs. The photographs are very vivid and the campground maps are very useful (although an overall map with the campground locations would be useful too).

Review of Joshua Tree: the Complete Guide

An excellent book with great photographs. It is organized very well. The author's love of the park comes through and is very inspiring.

Best Guide I've Ever Used

This book is it. As an avid hiker, camper, and all around outdoorsman, I've used a lot of different guides, but this one takes it. Between the photos, the extra chapters on local history, ecology etc., not to mention one of the easiest to use trail guides I've seen, I'm set on Destination Press as my guide of choice. Mr. Kaiser has made my outdoor adventures that much more enjoyable.

Perfection, Complete Perfection

I am an avid hiker / mountain climber and have been making frequent stops to the Joshua Tree area the last few years. In the past I could not find out where the best camping was or what the best trails were to explore. After reading Mr. Kaiser's book, my eyes have been opened to wonders and beauty of Joshua Tree National Park. I had been missing out for years on everything the park has to offer. I consider myself a fairly decent photographer and love to take snap shots of my travels. Kaiser has some of the most awe inspiring photographs you will ever see. What is a fantastic idea is that Kaiser sells his photographs on his website for very low price and they are absolutely the best quality. I told my wife I took one of the pictures I purchased from Kaiser. She loved it and framed it in our living room. She has even stopped given me a hard time about buying so much camera equipment!Joshua Tree: The Complete Guide truly is the "Complete Guide". I rate this book far beyond the best travel guides I have ever read.
