Customer Reviews

Land of the Ancients

I have visited this area for over 20 years. I was looking for a book that investigates places I might have missed so that I may include them in my tours. Since I continue to visit the Navaho Res I found this handbook to be of interest. And I indeed recommend it for those looking for that unusual Native American journey.

Good basic guide

This is a well written and well organized guide. There are very few that focus on the Four Corners per se. If that is your area of interest, definitely buy this book. If you are interested in the Four Corners as part of a bigger AZ or NM or UT tour, you may be just as happy with buying the AZ or NM or UT book(s).
