Customer Reviews

Buy this book before hiking.

I have been to this wilderness area and I bought the book after the fact. I wish I would have had it first but I now have planned on some of the hikes I will be going on in the future. The book has great information on trail conditions, types of wildlfe and how strenous the hikes are. At the end of each hike Mr. Schneider gives the fishing prospects for lakes and streams. I still read the book with my map spread uot on the floor so I can get an idea of what I am reading about. Well organized information
