 Excellent hiking book easy to follow directions October 28, 2008
I have had a chance to try out some of the hikes which are easy to drive to with the directions in the book and the book is fair in their rating system of easy, moderate and difficult hike. Highly recommend for finding good hiking spots in and around the Palm Springs area.
Don't buy this book! November 7, 2007

I like this book, but don't buy it. I have tried twice to get Amazon.com to correct their listing and have failed. There is a book, 120 Great Hikes and its ISBN is 1565794907 but there is a newer book by the same authors. The new book, 140 Great Hikes has been published and its ISBN is 9781565794900.
A few weeks ago Amazon listed it correctly and I bought it, but they shipped me the 120 Great Hikes book which I had to return, I already owned it. Now they have succeeded in somehow not selling the updated book but sending you to this listing if you put in the new books ISBN.
Wait until they get this figured out. I live in Palm Desert and the stores here are deeply discounting the 120 Great Hikes book and carrying the 140 Great Hikes book at the same time. Don't know why Amazon doesn't do that too.

This book has been recently updated - adding 20 more hikes over the previous '120 Hikes' edition. Yippee!
An essential tool for any avid hiker visiting or living in the Coachella Valley.
 Be careful of directions! October 14, 2006

This book definitely motivates and excites you to hike the Coachella Valley and surroundings, however, be very careful with the directions given. I have tried 3 hikes from the book and 2 we were lost for quite some time. Your best bet is to mapquest the directions or certainly call ahead. The author really could have done better in this area as your interested in hiking not driving!!
Great Book! July 14, 2006

I have used 120 Great Hikes/Palm Springs numerous times and have found it to be easy to follow and accurate. The Jo Pond trail is one of my favorites. Anyone who has interest in hiking around Palm Springs should get this book!
