The 2015 edition of Allen Hyde’s guide is a greatly expanded work by this respected local author. Allen’s growing work has been available in several editions over the last decade, and is perhaps the only comprehensive gorge trail guide in print. In addition to maps and trail info it includes great local history, and this recent edition now includes an introduction to the nearby Wilson Creek area. The glossary in the back is a read unto itself.
