One of several books by this author and I think that the information here will be very helpful in getting great photos on vacation. The biggest problem in getting a good photo is the location. Having a starting point is invaluable and then the only variable is the weather. Having photos in the book to illustrate the locations is a major plus.

Two Weeks Will Not Be Enough

Plans for our two-week road trip to the National Parks of southern Utah were rather chaotic -- lots of bits and pieces from several guidebooks were difficult to organize. But, thanks to Laurent Martres' book, I think we now have a much better chance of being in the right place at the right time to truly enjoy the sights. The photographic illustrations are really magnificent.

Beware False Kiva

I loved this book...however. On a trip to Moab 3 wks ago I hiked to the location of False Kiva as described in the book and originally described by Tom Till. It was a very windy, gusty day with gusts over 45 mph. I nearly pulled a Thelma & Louise without the T-Bird under me. With the wind and final assault up the slickstone, death was brought into the equation & I aborted. Also, I got lost for an hour and everything I owned was coated in sand. Avoid this recommendation when there is even a hint of wind. This advice comes from someone with 55 missions over North Viet Nam.

The best there is

I already own the 1th Edition and used it extensively to find rare to be seen places in the Southwest. I am German and visit the Southwest once or twice a year and found this book to be invaluable. Easy to follow directions, great images, good advice. You don't need any other guide to see all the best places (which no one else finds).

As Thorough As It Gets

Attention to detail - that's what separates this from the rest. My wife and I have been to this region dozens of times, and already knew much of what's here, yet we still bought this for its depth and for the gems it has that we'd missed. Lesser-known yet still outstanding locations are included, not just the "name" places. Time of day, trail and road conditions, suggestions on that extra item of gear [or lens] to take for each place, it's all here. The author's "here's my experience of the place" approach makes it that much more readable, too. The combination of sample color photos, time required data and geographic grouping make it easy to plan your visit. This book _really_ "rocks"!
