Arizona's Best Wildflower Hikes: The High Country

Rating:
Summary: especially for the serious wildflower lover
Review: like the other two volumes in this series, christine maxa provides extensive detail about what flowers you will see on a good selection of hikes. in fact, she tells you step by step as you go along the trail what specific flowers you will see and exactly where to look. 75% of the pictures are small flower closeups rather than panoramic pictures of flowers in the larger context of a scenic wildplace (a mild disappointment); but the book clearly represents itself as a wild flower guide so i dont feel mislead. the guide has simple directional hiking maps, good detail about elevation, best season, directions to the trailhead, etc. the production quality is among the highest of any hiking guide book series published- use of high photo grade paperstock and graphic design work make this guide very colorful.

Recommended.
