A very good book that helped me discover some great places in the Catskills. Thanks to this book I was able to take some great photographs. The book is well written and gives directions, history, and advice to finding the waterfalls.

I only used two chapters of this book. When I visited the waterfalls described in these two chapters, I found the information up to date and accurate. It covered everything I wanted to know before I went.
