4.0 out of 5 stars Handy reference to a number of popular trails in Northeast Ohio, August 27, 2010

This review is from: Cleveland on Foot: 50 Walks & Hikes in Greater Cleveland (Paperback)

I have recently been introduced to the sport of Trail Running and I have used this book as a reference in planning my runs. The authors (or representatives of the authors) have walked each of the trails and hikes described in the book, and there are very useful turn-by-turn, point of interest- by-point of interest descriptions of each route. I wouldn't say this collection is comprehensive and you are not going to be introduced to many obscure or out-of-the-way locations, but it does contain many detailed descriptions of some of the most beautiful lands surrounding Cleveland.

This review is from: Cleveland on Foot: 50 Walks & Hikes in Greater Cleveland (Paperback)

I purchased this book because we like to hike on the weekends. We were looking for some new trails. This book lists 50 hikes in and around Cleveland. Many are urban hikes within some of the old neighborhoods. Others are in parks and cemetaries. This book also give tidbits of history about each location. I would recommend this book to anyone who lives in or around the Cleveland area, especially those who love to hike around old architecture or cemetaries.
