A new and expanded edition of "
Boots and Burgers" by Roger Naylor is now out. New trails from around the state and their associated burger spots are discussed in some detail. One of his new favorites is
Big Earls Greasy Eats here in Cave Creek paired with the Go John Trail. Something in Spur Cross might have been a better choice but it's his book.

Hugh Norris Trail paired with El Guero Canelo in Tucson is another new addition. 70 hikes and burgers from Marble Canyon to the Mexican border area are included. He says he found a favorite but I guess one has to buy the book to find out.
