Hikers delight

This book is an excellent tool for hikers. If you're not an avid hiker it has tips for you so you can learn. Accurate to the regional area, and covers many trails I didn't know about! Good Buy

Great book -- the foundation for our summer plans!

My husband, who is a teacher and home with the kids all summer, has a hiking morning with them once a week, using this book as his guide. Everyone loves it. The kids were 4 and 6 last year when they started and I think this is something they will enjoy for years. I can't believe how many trails are so close by and so interesting in different ways, and I can't imagine how we'd know about them otherwise. No one with kids...

Can't say enough about this book...

5 minutes after receiving this book I learned something that I have shared with friends as far as New Jersey! Great book, I look forward to hitting some of the trails listed. The only thing I wish this book had that it doesn't is child friendly. I travel with a 3 year old and 10 month old and would love to know just how "child friendly" the terrain is. BUT since that is ever changing I can see how that type of information...

When's the next hike?

Bought the book yesterday and did the 8.2 mile hike on the Hojack Trail in Webster where I live. It was easy to find, the history about the trail in the book was interesting and we are looking forward to finding other hikes around our home we didn't know were there! Very user friendly book. After each hike there is a place where you can jot down notes, great for keeping track of hikes you want to repeat.
