60 Hikes Within 60 Miles

by Joanie Sanchez

This detailed guide by experienced local Joanie Sanchez presents the best, most scenic day-hikes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Covering everything from open prairies to rolling hills to lakeside beaches, the book shows hikers where to follow ancient dinosaur tracks, enjoy a secluded pecan grove, and experience Texas’s vanishing blackland prairie. Like all the guides in this series, this one is based on cutting-edge GPS data, with up-to-date maps and hike profiles.

I've gotten a lot of use out of this book. It's a great guide if you're new to the D/FW area and looking for those outdoorsy type places (there aren't many near Dallas, I can tell you). Upside: trails are organized by type (best for camping, best for kids, etc); downside: several of the hikes are NOT within a 60 mile radius of Dallas/Ft Worth, but I understand that the author was hard pressed to find good trails in the area. Would recommend, definitely.

I have not road tested this book yet, but it has lots of information about little hikes near Dallas. The plan is to do every one. My review might be updated. ...
