Great book about a great place!

This is really a great book and one of the best on the Trinity Alps. It is a different book from my favorite, the Trinity Alps book by Wayne Moss. Wayne's book is more of an encyclopedia, while this is a book for hikers. Wayne's book lists every lake and trail, while this book has 51 different journeys. This book has the most photos of any of the Trinity Alps books. This can be a good thing, although I like to hike to a place and be surprised at what I find. Dennis is not a fisherman, so you won't find information on fishing the lake and streams of the Alps. The maps are great, as is the information on distances to the lakes. As an example of what I like about the book, let's explore the trip to Canyon Creek, the most popular journey in the Trinity Alps. It's 6 pages long, includes a map with the surrounding areas, a photo of the Lower Falls, and a graph of key distances, including the McKay Camp, Lower Falls, Canyon Creek Meadows, Middle Falls, etc. That way you know at the Middle Falls you have 3 more miles to "L" Lake. A great book and a fun read. Good job, Dennis!
