Mountain Biking Arizona

Rating:
Summary: Out of date.
Review: Like many other books in this series, the non-local editor, author and publisher all live outside of the state of Arizona. Although frequently reprinted, the trails shown have not been re-ridden in some time. Many are out of date or simply no longer exist. In the meantime, many, many new trails have been developed and are being enjoyed by Arizona Mountain bikers.

Rating:
Summary: poor maps
Review: Maps drawn with a mouse have a generic look and give very skimpy info. When you are in the woods, the devil is in the details. A good, accurate hand drawn map with lots of useful detail is much more useful and fun. I also like a contour profile which shows elevation gain over distance, so that I know what I am getting into before I begin. If you want the local mountain bikers' guide written by a local that does the job right and has the "real" rides, get Cosmic Ray's FAT TIRE TALES AND TRAILS: ARIZONA MOUNTAIN BIKE GUIDE.
