Summary: Beautiful photos, great trail descriptions
Review: New Mexico is a great state to hike. Even without the magnificent hikes in and around the Taos, there are plenty of other trails to explore and enjoy. This book does it all! It is an exceptionally well-designed book for hikers across the spectrum. Whether you're a neophyte or have climbed Denali, this book contains all the essential information you need to tackle the hikes listed. The photos are all in color and are breathtaking! You really get a sense of what each hike will look like before you undertake it. Every hike also has a color map to accompany the text description. The maps are easy to follow and instructive.

Equally pleasing is that the authors take the time to describe each hike in extensive detail, though they are never wordy. They list the elevation gains, give succinct but necessary directions to each trailhead and provide ample analysis of the strengths/weaknesses of each trek. The book is small and light enough to carry in your backpack, if you feel the need to consult it while on the trail.

I have over 50 hiking books in my library and it would be hard to imagine a more complete, more photographically stunning or better written guide. From desert to mountains, New Mexico has it all. I enthusiastically recommend this gem!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must for the NM hiker.
Review: This is a great book that really makes my camping trips. I have children and with this we know weather or not we can do a hike and where they are, a must for the New Mexico Hiker.
