Summary: Confusing maps and some errors in directions...
Comment: The locations are wonderful, and there is some very interesting historical background about the towns, but the maps are very vague and confusing. I have gone on four of the hikes, and have managed to get through most of them without getting too lost, mainly because of using supplementary maps.

There are several errors in directions (go left instead of right, for example!) and they tend to be a little vague. I would recommend trying the trips only with a good map, and perhaps some help from another book such as the New York Walk Book. However, it is helpful to have information on public transportation, and overall the trips are very interesting.

Summary: good description and listings but rough maps
Comment: We followed this book to Cold Spring for a day-trip but ended up lost in the woods. It took 8 firefighters to rescure us from the mountain. According to the firefighters, we were the third group that got lost this year because of this book.

While this book provides a well-designed day-trip routes, it lacks a detailed map for inexperienced travelers to follow.

Only use this book to plan your trip but ***DO*** use a comprensive map from NYNJTC(New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, for each locale.
