Whenever Im looking for something to do, I open up this book and go somewhere I havent been before. The book is well laid out, and it gives great descriptions of each hike. I would recommend this to anyone new to the St. Louis area, or to a local looking to find a new adventure.

I gave this book to my father for Christmas last year and he was able to find parks and trails that, as an avid hiker and native of StL, even he hadn't heard of yet. I wish the pictures were in full color but the trail descriptions have been spot on and the variety of hikes have let us find a couple new favorites!

Hikers Guide to Our Area

I have turned to this book so many times to find a hike for myself, for customers and for Scout groups. This is a very comprehensive book that gives particulars about each hike including info on whether or not I can bring my dog! The maps are very readable and the descriptions of the areas are very accurate. In our OFallon, IL location, I frequently sell this book to new residents to the area. The table of contents organizes the hikes by length, difficulty, type of terrain and child friendly among other options.

This is the book I refer to over and over when I want to get outside. I like the way the book is organized with an index for short hikes, long hikes, easy hikes, difficult hikes, hikes for kids, scenic hikes, winter hikes, and a few others I've forgotten! Each hike has an overview about each trail and its amenities. I only wish the book had larger maps, guess I need to have reading glasses!

This book has most of the best hiking areas around the St. Louis area. It is a fact that St. Louis has been top ranked for urban cities in the United States for best hiking trails and rivers. If you come to the Alpine Shop you should already own this book unless you are from Slovakia because the hikes you find in this book are gnarly!

When I got married 8 months ago, I noticed my husband had this book. I had no idea how many awesome hiking areas where within the St. Louis area. This book has detailed maps of trails and info about the trails. When our friends come to town and ask about things to do we show them this book and they are also Wowed. If you are looking for some great hiking places for this area please stop by and check out this awesome book.

This book is my favorite book for finding trails in the St. Louis Area. This is a great book to keep in your car just in case you find yourself near the trailhead of one of these great hikes and you just so happened to leave your phone at home and you cant just search for the trail map. Super handy!

After moving to the Saint Louis area and not being aware of many places to get out and hike, I found this book and was thrilled with the trails and maps in it. I like that I can access all of these places by just an hour or so of a drive from my home. I'd recommend this book to people looking for hikes that are doable for families and people looking to start with shorter hikes and places to get outside.

This is a great resource for anyone looking to explore the St. Louis and surrounding areas. The organization and depth of information is very helpful when planning an outing. The author breaks it down to region, length, difficulty and more! Directions to the trailheads and even coordinates and narrative descriptions have been very helpful. Also a great gift idea because there are options for any type of hiker, walker, or trail runner.
