4.0 out of 5 stars
75 great ideas for stimulating mind and body,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Hikes with Children in New Jersey (Best Hikes With Children Series) (Paperback)
This book is very well laid out from the initial NJ map showing the location of all the sites to the pertinent information given at the beginning of each hike, the excellent site maps and the handy signs in the margins. The writing is clear, interesting, filled with geological and historical background information, points of interest, helpful suggestions and cautionary notes. I have ventured out on several of the hikes and they've been great. Would recommend to anyone interested in hiking in The Garden State, with or without children.

Great Reference!,

This review is from: Best Hikes with Children in New Jersey (Best Hikes With Children Series) (Paperback)
I love this book. I just got it a few weeks ago and we have hiked each week since I got it. I find it easy to use. I love that it ranks the difficulty of the hike. I have a 5 yr old and a 7 year old. This book makes it easy for planning an afternoon trip vs an all day adventure. It also tells you things like if the trail is "bugy" in the summer or if you need to wear long pants because it is a "thorny" hike. Lots of great & useful tools.

A useful book covering the entire state,

This review is from: Best Hikes with Children in New Jersey (Best Hikes With Children Series) (Paperback)
Many long-time New Jersey residents have never truly explored all the state has to offer. This easy-to-read book guides us to a variety of family-friendly places with clear maps and directions. It's a great way to get outdoors and see the state.
