This book is much more than just a hiking guide.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hiking Missouri (Paperback)
This wonderful book is "a must," not just for hikers but also for nature lovers. More than an accurate and detailed guide, the book affords readers lush visual imagery through the descriptions of a skilled writer who, without doubt, loves the trails he treads.

I have been enjoying canoeing, kayaking, and camping in Missouri all my life, but every page of this book told me something I didn't know about my favorite state. This book is guaranteed to make the reader start making trip plans. This is a great gift book because it is a catalyst to further adventure.

Get Outside!,
By Robin Grumm - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hiking Missouri-2nd Edition (Paperback)
I want to get outside and explore after reading Lohraff's new book, Hiking Missouri. A good cookbook is a joy to read AND entices you to cook. This book is an excellent "recipe" for exploring Missouri. It was extremely enjoyable to read, with personal anecdotes and interesting historical and natural history facts. AND I can't wait to try some of the hikes - a perfect combination.This is also a user friendly book. The layout is easy to navigate, the boot icons are easily understood, and each trail description is specific and clearcut. The author writes in such a way as to instill confidence in the reader/hiker. Lohraff's passion for the outdoors and his knowledge of Missouri's natural communities are gifts to us all. Thank you. Now, I'm going to Get Outside! |
