Reviews

“An obvious labor of love, Superstition Wilderness Trails East should serve as a model for guidebooks to other wilderness regions of the state.”
Bruce Dinges, The Journal of Arizona History

“Carlson and Stewart, who weave the lore of the Superstition range into their books, have dug into primary sources, such as property records, and interviewed ranchers to get firsthand accounts.”
Ron Dungan, The Arizona Republic

Superstition Wilderness Trails East…Plain and simple, this thickly bound book is awesome. It has everything, like detailed maps old and new, photos old and new, descriptions of all the trails, homestead survey drawings, historical stories and a lot more…

“…Superstition Wilderness Trails East…All in all, it is a very informative and useful guide - a must for anyone who rides in the Superstition Wilderness.
