Hiking Missouri (America's Best Day Hiking Series)

Don't know what I was expecting this is a very good book very well done but I could have found all the same information on Google

Got this as a gift for my niece.. She loves it! She and her boyfriend plan to hit several of these places.

This is a great hiking book that explores trails all over the state. There are many spots mentioned that I had never even heard of and wouldn't have ever found on my own. The book has good maps, directions, and an overview of the amenities and sites to see at each hiking spot along with a rating on how difficult the trail is to hike. For each hiking location mentioned, there is also a summary of the natural features to see on the trail as well as other attractions nearby. I love that the maps give a detailed description of each point of interest on the hike such as waterfalls and rock formations. This is a wonderful guide to explore the natural wonders of the Show Me State.

Hiking Missouri is well written in the sense it is easy to get an idea of what kind of trail you are looking for without having to skim through the whole book. You simply look at the beginning pages and the author has areas sectioned as well as trail ratings. It didn't cover all the trails of an area, but perhaps that would have been too much information. I might even give it a 5 star rating.

This book has been a Godsend. I didn't realize Missouri had so many trails to hike! Since purchasing this book a month ago I have tried out four new areas that I never knew existed!Well written, incredibly descriptive (even going so far as to rate the difficulty of the hikes in boot marks). I look forward to utilizing it once again this weekend to find someplace new to explore! Highly recommended if you live in or around Missouri and love to spend time outdoors like I do!

This book is fantastic! I just recently moved to Missouri, and I love to hike. Before I bought this book, I was searching the internet for hours at a time trying to find hiking trails. This book has made the search so much less time consuming! Everything you need is in this book! I'm sure people will think I'm strange for saying this, but this book is one of the coolest things I own. I'd like to personally shake the hand of this author and thank him.

This book is great. It has maps to keep you on track, all kinds of very useful information about the trails. I'm very happy with this purchase. If I knew anyone else that liked hiking as much as I do I would give this as a gift! Perfect for any Missourian! Easy and long hikes alike!

Got this book as a companion to 60 Hikes with 60 Miles to St. Louis. Looking forward to visiting some of these spots. I like the breakdown on each spot in the Trail Finder.

Covers trails wit highlights all over the state including Ozarks and urban. Just what you need if you are a hiker.
