Canyoneering 3 by Steve Allen
Gold Standard For Backcountry Hiking Books
Steve Allen describes the Escalante National Monument as a twisted,
complex web of sandstone; a jigsaw puzzle of canyons, draws, gorges
and washes. His guide, Canyoneering 3, is the latest installment in a
series that helps debunk myths of desert hiking being little more than
strolling over flat, sandy landscapes. Allen walks the reader through 23
hikes with necessarily wordy descriptions, proving that Escalante is as
complicated as it is picturesque. The author is regarded as a legend
among canyoneers; you couldnt find a better tour guide to steer you
through. --Ben Tiffany
Personal Review: Canyoneering 3 by Steve Allen
If you have not used a Steve Allen guidebook before, they are
indispensable in Canyon Country. His love of these places is evident in the
care with which he writes. Steve has been hiking the Colorado Plateau for
over 15 years now extensively and much of that time was spent
researching this guidebook for the Escalante area. You won't find routes
listed in here that were only hiked a single time, they were hiked,
reworked, and double-checked many times. Canyoneering is hard core,

and the routes into and out of the canyons are areas to easily get lost in.
Good directions and good maps are a must. Steve's books also have lots
of interesting tid bits on local and natural history. Check out Canyoneering
I and II if you like this one.
