Review
"Bennett's descriptions and impressions of the trails often border on poetic." -- Brian Albrecht, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"The book serves as a true guide with Bennett detailing weather conditions, wildlife encountered, camping and lodging, fees and directions for each trail. But he goes a step further, painting vivid pictures of the landscape and personalizing each with an account of his own hike. " and#151; Ann Tatko-Peterson, The San Jose Mercury News
