Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area - Newly Updated, Expanded and Even More Awesome 8th Edition! - By the Northern New Mexico Group of the Sierra Club

There is a reason New Mexico is called The Land of Enchantment and Santa Fe is referred to as The City Different. The state is a natural wonderland, especially the northern region where Santa Fe —and the surrounding area — has mesmerized explorers, travelers and artists for more than 400 years. 

There is just so much to see — your eyes struggle to take in the often-stunning panorama of jaw-dropping beauty. And of course you want to be out in it, up close. Hiking, climbing and discovering breath-stealing views or Nature's intricate designs for the first time, or all over again.

But with so much, where does one start??

Well, give the Northern New Mexico Group of the Sierra Club many kudos — again —  for publishing its incredible Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area!

This newly published (July 2016), indispensable, 406-page guide (91 more information-and-graphics-packed pages than the previous edition!) is in its eighth edition. The tremendous passion and commitment of the good folks at the Northern New Mexico Group of the Sierra Club continues to grow, as you will see with this updated gem!

Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area is considered to be the authoritative trail guide for Northern New Mexico. One of Santa Fe’s most popular locally oriented and published books, the meticulously detailed and researched Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area has sold more than 50,000 copies.

The guide features more than 50 destinations, many of which offer multiple hiking options, as well as new and reconfigured hikes. Every hike has been recently reviewed, re-hiked and checked for accuracy, and it also takes into account fires and flash floods from recent years. 

The book also contains detailed maps of every hiking area, as well as dozens of photographs and detailed GPS data. In addition, this truly essential and trusted hiking companion contains safety tips, a resource guide and much more.

Emerging and experienced hikers alike will appreciate the well-organized summary of round-trip distance, hike time, elevation range, difficulty rating, driving distance, map choices, seasonal suitability and land management status that precedes each hike.

Best of all, every hike description in this book is written by an experienced local hiker - someone who knows the hike best!
