The Santa Catalina Mountains, A Guide to the Trails and Routes (Fourth Edition – Revised) by Pete Cowgill and Eber Glendening (published by Rainbow Expeiditions) has been out of print for many years, but used copies can often be found on Amazon (or perhaps sometimes at Bookmans – pictures of my well loved and somewhat abused copy below) – be careful on Amazon, sometimes earlier editions are available, which might be interesting – but are likely not what you want.
I suppose that you might – with great effort – be able to find all the information in this guide book on various internet sites and in other guide books/maps… And certainly, if the more popular and well established trails are your pleasure there may be little point to this aging guide. But if you love the obscure corners, old routes, and less traveled places you should find a copy of this book – I have spent many hours dreaming about the locations and routes it holds.
A store copy is usually available on the map table of the Summit Hut.
