Excellent info in a charming format Feb 06, 2004
By Roland
My friends and I recently visited Phoenix for a few days to escape our freezing weather in Chicago. We had purchased a copy of Hiking Phoenix before leaving home. We found it a good choice. Information and directions arepresented in a easy to use format. The hikes were Camelback Mountain, Peralta trail in the Supertstition Mountains and Picacho Peak. All three werefairly short and tough, just as Ray had warned and all three were unforgetable. Great views, fabulous desert vegetation and easy to get to. The freeway dirctions were right on and got us straight to the trailhead. The information about difficulty and distance were also right on the money. I never would have thought that there was so much beauty in the desert. We really enjoyed ourselves. We are looking forward to returning and trying some of the easier hikes in Ray's book. thnaks for the great little guide.

excellent guide - very accurate Feb 26, 2004
Ray's description and map of the hike at Pinnacle Peak is very accurate. Telling folks that dogs are not allowed, when flowers bloom and especially staying on the trail are great reminders for people. Ray has taken the time to obtain updated information. It is a great guide and we are using our copy constantly at Pinnacle Peak Park as hikers ask questions about other hikes in the area. Thanks for including Pinnacle Peak and the excellent write up on this area.

beautiful places Nov 06, 2004
By Duncan
I recently moved out here from the UK to Arizona. I was whining to my father (when he was visiting) that a lot of people had told me there's nowhere to go hiking around Phoenix and I was finding that hard to believe given how much open space there is around Phoenix.
Anyway, we were in a book shop when he pointed out this book. I bought it instantly and have so far enjoyed five of this guide's hikes . . . and have found some beautiful places thank's to Ray's help. I just wanted to thank the author for making me realise that not all of this country is owned and fenced off and there are some places you can go where you feel as if you're walking where no one else has! Great book.

Love the humor and maps Feb 23, 2004
We live near Casa Grande, Arizona. We just purchased Hiking Phoenix and used it hiking at Lost Dutchman State Park in The Superstition Mountains. We love the humor as well as the wonderful maps. Also, we love the cactus identification.

Great Book! Jan 16, 2008
By ThirstyApe
I make about 2 trips to Phoenix every year and this book has been great for finding fun hikes for my family. Cosmic Ray has many great tips and accurate descriptions of every trail that we have hiked. This book has made my family's trips to Phoenix so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend it if you plan any hikes in the Phoenix area.
