Discover the White Mountains of New hampsheris is an excellent introduction to the many wonderful outdoor activities in the area. The narrative and descriptions are a joy to read and the activity suggestions are very easy to follow. This book offers excellent suggestions on hikes and bikes and padles in the area. If you are new to the area this book is a must have. If you are an old pro in the White Mountains you will like the easy style author uses to delicately describe the various trails and adventure you will undertake. Even someone very familliar with the area may discover some new and exciting places to hike, bike and paddle. I've read many booka on hiking in the Whites and Discove the White Mountians is amoung the best I've found. The book is a real page turner or just put into the library for easy referance when you are in the area. Excellent!
