When I first saw these books, my immediate reaction was, "why has it taken so long for someone to come up with this?" I think there's been a real need for these books for quite a while. …these guides will add a lot to your hikes and to your planning. I highly recommend them.

Gove is an experienced hiker, a wonderful writer, a curious and careful observer of people and events, but she is, above all, a naturalist.
