Day Trips with a Splash: Swimming Holes of the Southwest
by Pancho Doll
Category: Travel

Hiking for its own sake is fine, but wouldn't you rather have a hike with an objective? This book tells you the best places to go--and where not to go. Secluded waterfalls, remote two-person tubs, hidden pools, all of them at least six feet deep. All are in creeks and rivers less than three hours from the trailhead. None have any man-made structures visible from them. Privacy is listed for each entry along with icons indicating the best season to visit, the difficulty of approach, and the overall rating. Dog owners and families with small children can easily determine if the journey is appropriate for them. Topographical maps for each hole are annotated with coordinates so GPS users will have some routes they can program into their navigation units.--From publisher description.
