Title: Disappointing
Review: I have used Lonely Planet guides for several years, and have found them to be uniformly excellent -- except for this one. The time estimates given for various hikes with which I am familiar are way off. I am suspicious of the book's accuracy, and wonder whether the persons who authored the book actually did the described hikes. There are also gratuitously sniffy descriptions sprinkled throughout the text, such as "the poor food and urban sprawl characteristic of the Rocky Mountain region" -- remember, however, that the book's authors are British. Consider other books written by local writers/hikers who actually know the trails.
