If you're looking for really short hikes (like 3 mi. or less) than this is the book for you. It does have great places & information about the hikes but I was hoping for a little bit more...

I've read lots of hiking guides in my life, but this is the most entertaining guide I've ever read. It was so interesting that I had to do every hike and I lost 15 pounds. It inspired me to get into shape, go back to school and now I am an electrical engineer and have many attractive girlfriends. I take them all on hikes for every date. I can't recommend this book enough. Seriously.
