5.0 out of 5 stars Good hikes, but check the map, September 13, 2007

This review is from: Explorer's Guide 50 Hikes in Ohio: Day Hikes & Backpacking Trips in the Buckeye State (Third Edition) (Explorer's 50 Hikes) (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book. I have taken many of these hikes and they fit the descriptions. I was hoping to find the best hikes for my area (northwest Ohio), but there were not many around here. Check the map before you buy to make sure there are hikes in the region you hope to frequent. I should have known there would be few hikes in this area, just given the area and that I could not find any good hikes on my own either. I would prefer to have all hikes listing if pets are permitted or not and this book only occasionally lists info on pets.

I bought this for my son-in-law for Christmas and he loved it! Every time I go to their house, I see the book in a different place and it looks like he reads it alot. He really appreciated the guide that shows what kind of camping, if any, is available at each hike location.
