 Charles A. Wells - your Arizona back country guide! Aug 07, 2004
By G. Volz
We just did a 3 week loop through Arizona, Utah, and Colorado and used Charles A. Wells books for each of those states for planning and navigation. We were extremely happy with these books as guides as we would have had no idea of were to go wheeling with out them.
Very well written and detailed trail descriptions. The maps and overall layout of the books were very friendly and easy to use especially while on the trail. We tried to hit as many of the authors favorite trails as we could and were not disapointed! We also noticed that the volumes were recognized and apparently respected by local tour guides that we met along the trails - a good sign. Some of the volumes included GPS coordinates which were a helpful reference. A mapping GPS makes a good companion to all of these books as you can match your GPS generated progress to any of the books fine maps.
The only down side as another reviewer pointed out, is that the binding of one or two of the books did give up but only because of its high use/abuse on our 3 week trip - don't let that stop you from buying though. (I'm going to move the pages to a binder)
You will be pleased with your purchase!
Thank you Mr. Wells

 Guide to Arizona Backroads and 4 wheel drive Sep 16, 2005
By M. Nelson
This book is a good starter for the person who doesn't know any locals in the area to take them 4 wheeling. I have a stock SUV and have done 4 trails, it was great fun. The book provides GPS coordinates to help with trail finding, however they seem to be off by about a mile or two. Perhaps the Waypoints were taken when selective avaliability was still active. I would rate this book as a 5 if the Waypoints were accurate. Trail finding is made somewhat easier by the accurate turn by turn directions based on odometer readings.
All in all, if you want a beautiful tour of Arizona that not many people get, get this book and see the sights. Go with a buddy and take some moderate trails. Eventually you will catch yourself wanting to lift your rig, and get lockers for it too.

Great trail guide for those starting out Feb 19, 2007
By Xantier M. Werner
I just recently moved to AZ and didnt know my way around the trails at all. I purchased this book and have been very happy with it! It documents alot of trails in different parts of the state (so you can flip to which part your in). It states the historical significance and the navigation data for getting there. GPS users might find that it doesnt list enough navaids but for those without it explains in detail where to start your odometer for each segment of the trail.
Overall great buy.

Best Arizona Trailbook Available! May 25, 2007
By Nena Barlow
"Jeep School"
I have traveled countless miles of Southwestern trails, and I think these are the best trailbooks available for Arizona and Moab. Wells has selected the most scenic and interesting trails, with concise and simple directions. Some people may find the non-topo maps confusing at first, but combined with the written directions, GPS coordinates, and basic common sense anyone should find their way through without incident.
The book is thorough, with relative charts for difficulty and overall enjoyability of a trail, as well as driving tips and preparation guidelines.
As with any printed book, some of the info gets outdated rather quickly, but he does try to post updates on his website. No matter how good a trailbook is, always use an additional navigation source: topo maps, atlas, land management maps (BLM or USFS) and always check with local 4x4 shops, clubs or land management agencies for current conditions.

Great trail guide Dec 13, 2011
By Brian P. Letendre
Good trail guide for the desert southwest. I have always been a fan of the Wells books. I even know a guy pictured in one of the first additions. Great books.
