Reviews
Leonard's use of a "Hikes At A Glance" chart in the front of the book makes it easy to quickly dispense with hikes that you might consider too short or too long and hard.... [Hike the Parks: Rocky Mountain National Park] is a good handy book to have for exploring day hikes in Rocky Mountain, and it's small enough to slip into your daypack, something that's always nice to be able to do with a guidebook.-- "National Parks Traveler"
The book is colorfully photographed and the trail information is clear, concise and easy to follow. A "Going Farther" addition to many of the trail descriptions gives the more adventurous hikers some enticement to extend their venture.--Bob Falcone "Colorado Springs Indy"
A terrific hiking guide, well written and complete.--Rosi Hollinbeck "Portland Book Review"
