Los Alamos, though known primarily as the birthplace of the atomic bomb, is set in some of the Southwest's most magnificent country. Hoard, a naturalist and artist, has made this book much more than a hiking guide, including also the human and natural history of the area described in 24 delightful hikes.

More than a guide book, A Guide To Bandelier National Monument includes a 38-page introduction which gives a brief description, from prehistory, European arrival, to the WWII era and its aftermath. Dorothy Hoard uses photographs and cleanly drawn hand sketches to show Bandelier's trails from the Visitor's Center trailheads, State Road 4, St. Peter's Dome, and Eagle Canyon Pumice Mine trailheads. Dorothy gives the avid trail hiker, and the armchair nature enthusiast a clear idea of what the landscape holds, plus plenty of regional flavor sprinkled in with historical facts and information. Safety precautions and park regulations are included.
