Reader Reviews:
Excellent guide that contains a few real gems (81/82 people found this helpful)
I used the previous version of this guide for a six week trip through California, Vegas, Nevada, Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. I never have found a guidebook so useful. Anza-borrego National Park, Zion Nat. Park (Angels Landing), Valley of Fire State Park, Ventena wilderness. are all places that I'd never heard of before but visited because of this guidebook - All fantastic places.
Enough was covered on the Grand Canyon for me to arrange a camp site in the Canyon itself - no mean feat because of the demand.
Highly recommend this to anyone on a California, Nevada + Canyons trip
OK, But needs updating (14/19 people found this helpful)
Although the book boasts 'www upgrades' on the cover, there is currently no update available. The hotel information appears to be VERY out of date, so the price guides are a waste of time. The book does not really reference the www, but at least it's not as uptight as the rough guides
Comprehensive backpacker's guide (18/18 people found this helpful)
All you need to know for planning a trip on limited time and budget: good list of budget to mid-priced accomodation for most towns and cities, concise guides for all places of interest, good introduction and background of the region, suggested itinery is good for reference, but lack of photos, and poor quality maps: insufficient maps for motorists.
