Customer Reviews

Especially for Flora and Fauna

I like this guide as an introduction to the many scenic mountains of Virginia. The material is well organized and concise with very good directions to reach the described locations. A unique feature of this book is the considerable attention, as well as a considerable portion of the book, devoted to the flora and fauna of various regions. Depending upon your specific interests, this may be enlightening or of passing interest. The maps are not very detailed and the few photographs are of little value but these are not the focus of the book and can be attained elsewhere. Overall, a good resource if you plan to spend time in the mountains of Virginia, especially for day hikes.

Best book on Virginia Mountains ever written.

This book is not only great to use, it's terrific and fun to read. It is so complete and includes great maps that are easy to understand and use. We like having the bota nical names of plants as well as common names presented. The writers know their stuff. We highly recommend this book. It's well worth the price.
