The Perfect Guide for Hikers.......2004-05-26

Whether you're a day hiker or a backpacker, you'll love this compact guide to wildflowers. It fits easily in your fanny pack and you'll never notice the weight in your backpack. The pictures are fabulous and provide an excellent means of identification. I used to find myself out hiking and wondering about the names of the beautiful flowers I spotted. I would even debate picking just one to take home and identify. Well no more, with this little guide, I can identify them all and leave them in place for the next hiker to enjoy.

I love my guide!.......2004-04-11

Superb! I just love my little lightweight wildflower guide and every one I show it to is blown away by its compact size. It has just about every flower in it that I see when I'm hiking in the area. Other guides are just too heavy so I never bring them along. So many nice photos here, sometimes several views of the same plant to really help you identify. I like the family organization format because the ones that look alike are right next to each other for quick comparison. The color guides never worked for me because some flowers are multicolored and I never knew where to look. Oh yeah! This book has caption right under the flower photo where they belong, so I don't have to flip pages. What a jewel!

Wonderful Hiking Companion.......2004-04-11

Finally, a flower guide that actually makes you want to use it! Super light and full of photos, cover to cover. Waterproof, that will be good for the drizzle days. I've always wondered why I had to carry around photos of Washington and Oregon wildflowers when I was hiking in Montana, now I don't have to! This is the one to have for this area. No wasted space or weight. First rate.

Awsome Compact Wildflower Guide for Montana.......2004-04-11

It's a large amount of good color photos in a small size. I'm surprised at the depth of information in a pocket guide. It's going to have a permanent place in my daypack so I can brush up on my knowledge along the trail. I wish all trail guides were this light and portable. Awesome and a real treasure. A must have for any hiking enthusiast.

Unusable .......2007-06-03

I ordered this book in preparation for my own trip to Colorado & Wyoming because I love my Peterson's Guide for Wildflowers for the Eastern US. This was a horrible disappointment. The flowers are organized by botanical families and species, instead of the usual organization by color and appearance. The key in the back is supposed to be organized by pairs of questions, but the numbering system is confusing beyond use and whoever put it together apparently doesn't know how to indent. I hope to prevent someone else from wasting their money on this book.

A botanical travelling companion.......2007-03-18

The photography is excellent. The line drawings are even more detailed. The descriptions are very useful. The interesting facts are often fascinating. I expect to field test this guide in July when I visit Alaska and British Columbia this summer. That will be the real test.

The best wildflower guide I've seen!.......1999-06-16

This is a great guide-the color photos are sharp and clear, the writing is to-the-point and very descriptive and helpful. There is also a section that defines terminology, which is useful to those of us who don't already know everything there is to know about wildflowers but are simply interested in knowing what kind of flower we saw! This book makes identification of a flower easy and certain, instead of wondering which of two (or more) it might be, as I've often found with other guides.

Botanist's Little Helper.......2007-03-18

This is a pocket guide for the enthusiast. Some prior knowledge of the terms used would be useful but it does what it says on the cover. I wish that I had found it before my last two trips to the Rocky Mountains but I will be taking it to Alaska this summer and hope that it helps there too.

great for identifying unknown wildflowers during your hike.......2004-04-06

Of all the wildflower books I've seen, this one does the best job at helping you identify your unknown flower. This book uses a decision tree that guides you to the flower by answering questions about the flower's characteristics. e.g. if flower has regular shape go to p. 12, if irregular go to p. 15. Next, if flower has basal leaves, go to p. 20, etc. The book has an explanation and drawings of the terms used for identification. It has line drawings and written descriptions of the flowers. It is small and easily fits in your pocket for a hike.

Excellent flower book.......1999-10-30

My family has always been very nature oriented, which may explain why I have become the owner of several of the "finders" books. Since moving to Colorado, I have watched for flower books and been disappointed in two I purchased. This book is exactly what I was looking for. At a picnic in the mountain woods, a guest brought a strange stalk in from a hike. It was covered with little pumpkin-shaped pods. Finding Pine Drops in this wonderful pocket-sized book sold it to me on the spot. When I went back to the same location the next year, I looked for the plant but didn't find it. Now I know I should not have been looking for a green plant, but one without chlorophyll. Aren't plants fascinating!

The best first hand guide to Utah whitewater!!!!.......1999-02-25

Gary and his brother have paddled every river and creek that is described in this book. If you plan on running any Utah river and creek, this is the guide to use for specific beta, when the best running time frames are (cfm wise), all permit requirements, put-ins and take-outs and all geography characteristics that may preclude a good time. Get it and take it with you! Awesome detailed route maps that can't be beat.
