A Simple Handy Guide to Big Bend

This book is easy to read and well organized to best manage and plan one's time at Big Bend. Being a seasoned vet of Big Bend, I even ordered a few books for friends and family new to Texas so they can enjoy and experience Big Bend as much as I have. I even learned of new advetures to try on my next trip to Big Bend.

Good Title - Very Enjoyable Read

Good Title - Very Enjoyable Read This is an especially great book for someone who has never been to Big Bend National Park, but even a seasoned traveler (6 times for me) to the Park will enjoy reading this book. I always like to see what someone else thinks of my favorite places and trails, so reading Gary Clark's impressions of Big Bend was interesting and about as close to being there as I can imagine. I loved reading about the difference in hiking styles, Gary's former "beeline race to the finish" vs. his wife's leisurely, "butterfly hiking", meandering down the trail. I had my husband read that section twice just to make sure he got the message! The mix of geology, nature, practical advice for safety, beautiful prose, humor and more made this a wonderful read and a very useful reference. I highly recommend this book for planning your trip and it is just the right size to tuck in your suitcase and carry with you throughout the park. The photos go from breathtakingly beautiful vistas to darn cute little critters that I hope to get a glimpse of on my next visit. And reading this book makes me want to plan that next visit right now.
