Canyoneering Arizona: Hiking and Exploring the Streambeds, Gorges and Slots of Arizona

Rating:
Summary: You catch the author's enthusiasm
Review: When you pick up this book, don't worry that it'll be just another dry guidebook. The author shares his love of Arizona in his attention to detail, enthusiastic descriptions, history and geology synopses, and sprinkled opinions on wilderness preservation. All the practical advice is there: how to get to a hike, time estimates, and equipment recommendations; but on top of that, you get the sense of why it's worthwhile to explore these places and treasure them. And the photos are great!
