Hiking the Rockies
Okay so I'll not do it all in one day:rofl:
Can anyone recommend a hiking book? I know there are tons out there, I'm looking for one that does easy to moderate hikes - y'know half day jobs with maybe some harder full day hikes as we do more, just wondered if anyone had managed to buy one that was easy to use and had lots of info, I don't want to end up spending $100 on books to find one good one;) Thank very much:wub: |
Re: Hiking the Rockies
Can't reccomend any books due to the fact that hiking isn't really a word in my vocab - hope you find something though and have a good time doing it :thumbup:

Re: Hiking the Rockies
This is the one that we have and it's pretty good! http://www.amazon.ca/Best-Day-Hikes-.../dp/0986492809

Re: Hiking the Rockies
Rather than using a book, I tend to use the website www.trailpeak.com -done quite a few hikes from there now. Just print off the relevant details and off we go.

Re: Hiking the Rockies
Ahhh, this could be a fabulous excuse to actually get away for a couple of days and swing by yours at the same time. Hmm, I'll start working on OH - you know how that goes, the power of suggestion until they think it's all their idea in the 1st place:blink::rofl:
