I just purchased the off-trail book by Nancy Pallister.
After doing two weeks in the Adirondacks, where I was fine, but my wife overestimated her fitness level, I'm thinking of making our backpacking trip to WY next year much easier than originally planned. Stick to trails, reduce the number of passes we climb, etc.
Can someone recommend a few good trail guide books?
Also, what are the trails like in the Big Sandy, Cirque of the Towers, Washakie area? In the Adirondacks, the trails are covered with rocks the size of bowling balls, microwaves, and even refrigerators, requiring a lot of scrambling. I dealt with them fine, but dear wife just doesn't have the strong ankles nor the long leg stride required to rock hop and scramble.
Thanks!
