We are pleased to partner with the Holland Center in presenting Roger Naylor with his fascinating talk on boots and burgers. No matter where you are in Arizona, you’re only minutes from an amazing hiking trail and a nearby locally-owned eatery if you know where to look. Roger Naylor, “the dean of Arizona travel writers” knows where to look!
Roger combines two great passions—hiking and hamburgers—to create the ultimate culinary adventure for the Grand Canyon State. Arizona Boots and Burgers: A Guide for Hungry Hikers is perfect for everybody because it’s loaded with scenic beauty and scrumptious meals. These are Arizona’s best trails and best burgers.

A humor and travel writer, Roger highlights favorite hikes in Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona, Prescott, the Phoenix area, Tucson and the southern deserts, the White Mountains, and Arizona’s West Coast.
Each trail in Arizona Boots and Burgers is paired with a nearby restaurant serving up delicious Sonoran hot dogs, barbecue, pizza, Indian tacos, cheese crisps, and oh yeah, dozens of mouthwatering burgers—with vegetarian options at each location. This book is a love letter to Arizona packed with more than 100 stunning photographs and featuring 70 trails, 70 eateries, fun facts, humor, storytelling, attractions along the way, and … fruit burros.
