This was OK. There were a lot of hikes that were new to me and that I would like to try. The format was decent, the pictures were generally very good, and the writing was tolerable. Some of the descriptions were tedious where I think they could have been inspiring, but overall this was pretty good for a list-of-activities style travel book.

The general formula is: great hike with 3-5 page description and pictures, compressed listing of critical details, then 2-3 similar hikes elsewhere.
