This Third Edition is a complete update and expansion of Great Sedona Hikes, Second Edition. It includes 60 of Sedona's greatest hikes (the Fourth Edition contains 65 hikes) and includes many new photos, updated trail descriptions, more-detailed maps including cumulative ascent data and trail elevation profiles.
