Summary: Never seen a better hiking guide!
Comment: I love the scope as well as the detail in this guide. It covers all New England states, and it describes how to drive to the trailhead then has great description of trails, turn points, scenery, etc. Each trail is rated from 1-5 for difficulty and 1-10 for scenic beauty, and it describes the length of the trail and how long it would take to hike it. I've hiked many of the rated "10's" and I can say that they were all spectacular. The book's greatest benefit is that because it's so broad (400 hikes), you're bound to find real gems in there that aren't so touristy (like Monadnock). I don't like crowds when I'm hiking. Many other hiking guides only list popular hikes, not necessarily the best hikes. Don't hesitate to buy this book!

Summary: Great Basic Guide for Hikes
Comment: This book is a well written guide to hikes, not hiking in general. It's pages are filled with short explanations of different hikes in New England. Each chapter has maps and directions on how to get to each hike. It also offers information as to how accessable the hikes are to hikers, the handicapped, or horseback riders.

The author rates each hike on difficulty and beauty. The range of difficulty goes from A Stroll to A Real Butt Kicker. This was a great book. All in all I found this a very easy to understand practical guide to hiking locations. It even tells which hikes your dog can go on with you.
