Title: I Love this Book
Review: I love this book. I use it every week. Great pictures of each waterfall but, the BEST part about this book is that Jim Cheney gives you the GPS coordinates to the trail head for each waterfall.This book contains a number of hidden gems that are difficult to find because so few know about them. It is an excellent tool to help you and your family get the most enjoyment possible out of the beauty of Pennsylvania.

Title: A "How Top" See PA's Beautiful Waterfalls!
Review: Jim has written a wonderful book for the entire family to enjoy! As a native PA'ian returning to live in the state after two decades spent away, we love this huge collection of waterfalls and how to go see them. He does a great job detailing all aspects of just about every waterfall in the state. My kids loved picking out the waterfalls we'll go see as a family. It has everything you need to plan your trips, including the distance you have to hike to get to the waterfall's base. Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves nature and wants to explore Pennsylvania!Jim also has a wonderful website UncoveringPA which is extremely helpful in finding great stuff to do all over PA.

Title: Beautiful photographs & excellent directions
Review: Longtime subscribers to his Uncovering PA newsletter, Jim's directions have gotten my husband and I to some off-the-beaten-path places we'd heard about elsewhere...but their directions didn't pan out. His have always proven to be spot-on. And in addition to precise directions, his book is full of stunning photos of the waterfalls --plus a checklist to keep track of falls visited. Great book!

Title: Love this book!
Review: I love the format of this book! Every waterfall has a photo. Not all books do that. It's great that it provides a small map of the state where you can instantly see the general location of each waterfall. Driving and hiking descriptions are very detailed. I have other books listing waterfalls, but this is my favorite! Other authors should use this book as an example when writing any type of guide book. Kudos to Mr. Cheney! I would not hesitate to purchase anything Mr. Cheney writes in the future.
