This book is great. I’m hiking the Rockies and has been for some time and really wanted to start learning the plants and flowers, I see all the time. This book is simply brilliant – the glossy pages make the book easy to travel – a little dirt or drops to the turf. The button color makes the search for wildflowers Find a breeze – only for color / train key and go from there. In addition, I like the summary of each plant or flower with healing properties, or receives any other purpose. Overall, a great book, walking on the shelf and easy to control at any time.

I see lots of botany of the belly “- always on my side, and take pictures of tiny alpine plants in the Rockies – and I have a large collection of keys and plant guides. I tell everybody, but if they just want a book on all plants in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, Alberta, Wyoming and adjacent areas, that’s all. Lots of photos and clear, good “key” to identify plants, and just enough detail. This book contains trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, ferns, lichens, rushes, sedges, mosses, – everything you need in one volume at low prices. I bought two and torn so I can gain weight carrying only the section of flowers, when I go hiking. Rating: 5.5
