Good Information, Questionable Details
21. August 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Having now hiked several of the trails described in this book, my wife and I have found the book lacking in accurate details more than once. At points on several different trails as well as driving directions to trailheads we have had to make notes in the book to add or even correct information. While realizing that trails change and even back roads to trailheads change, at some points we found details to be completely different than reality (such as a the details of a cemetary in the Sipsey Wilderness that proved quite different than what was described in the book.) While the book does prove to be useful (we continue to use it) a real trail map and a detailed road map must be consulted especially for the more remote trails.

Extremely inaccurate and outdated
9. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I work at Monte Sano State Park and when I compared the section about the "Plateau Loop Trail" (also known as the North Plateau Loop and South Plateau Loop) with our trail map (which is not, as is stated in the book, 50 cents, but $2.00 because it is a very detailed and excellent map) I saw numerous mistakes. Firstly, only a very fast and experienced hiker could do the entire trail in an hour. I can do the North Plateau Loop in 40 minutes, but that is at a fast pace, and it is only 1.2 miles, whereas the entire loop is about 4.8 miles. Also, hiking is not free at the park. There is an admission fee for all hikers, bikers and picnickers. One of the "ruins" the author describes is the site of a lodge built several years ago, which is used for meetings and events. Some of the landmarks and cross-trails he describes are not correct, and he doesn't even mention where the North Plateau Loop crosses the road that leads into the park! Someone unfamiliar with that trail would have difficulty picking it up on the other side of the road, as it is not easy to see. He also has the Bog Trail meet up with the South Plateau Loop twice before it meets with the Mountain Mist Trail, where it actually meets it the second time after the intersection of the Mountain Mist Trail. There are so many mistakes in this one trail description that I wonder how many other trail descriptions are in error. As far as Monte Sano State Park goes, we have twenty miles of hiking and/or biking trails, and your best bet would be to come to the park and purchase one of our trail maps, and if possible talk to one of the rangers, who are extremely knowledgable about the park trails. And a $2.00 accurate map is certainly better than an inaccurate $13.00 book.

Not accurate
26. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I used this book when backpacking on a trail in Mt. Cheaha State Park, and found it to be drastically lacking in accuracy. The time the author estimated it would take to hike the trail was vastly underestimated, and the dirt roads he said we would cross were not where they ought to be based on his description. I wondered if the author had even hiked the trail in the last four years. Given that my trouble interpreting the author's book appears to mirror that of other users, I think people should be very hesitant to rely on this book for serious backcountry hiking.
That said, the author does at least describe a lot of great trails in Alabama, and he explains how to get to the trailheads. If you want a book to explain where you could go hike, this will be useful. If you want a great guide to the trails themselves... Well, this book may leave you hiking for hours in the cold dark of night wondering why you are not yet at a destination the author claims should take only a fraction of that time to reach.
I feel that I should add that because this book is ambitious and the author appears sincere in his effort to describe the beauty of Alabama trails, I don't want to be too negative towards him. Nevertheless, I am still reluctant to rely on (or recommend) this book for specific details about backcountry trails. Finally, I suggest that were the author to add gps coordinates to his trail descriptions, then anyone using his book would be able to determine for certain whether any apparent inconsistency between the trial and the book was due to a miscalculation on their part or on the author's.
