Post your recommendations or questions about guide books here.
Lately, I've found myself running a little dry on go-to places that I want to backpack. So last night, I dug through my stack of books and pulled out Steve Allen's Canyoneering 3. WOW. I read it cover to cover probably 5-6 years ago but it was so much more interesting knowing what I know now. Some of the routes are technical but most are hiking. I've spent the last 24 hours thinking of how I can pull off spending more like 7-9 days in the desert rather than the standard 2-3...
If you're looking to do some off the radar stuff in and around Escalante, I highly recommend it.
