4.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource,
By Ashleigh Doherty (Waterbury, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors New England Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 380 Hikes (Paperback)
I live in CT and wanted to take up hiking.. I was pleasantly surprised with the range of hikes covered in this book. Especially areas I never would have thought had a decent hike, like my hometown of Waterbury! Because of the amount of hikes covered, the info for each is pretty short. It does suggest other places to get info though and is great for what it is- a survey of New England hikes, not in depth for any one area or type of hike.

Great hikes,

This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors New England Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 380 Hikes (Paperback)
I have owned this guide for almost eight months and have already hiked many of the ones recommended in this book. I have never been disappointed, unlike last year when I tried to use 50 Hike in New Hampshire to find a good hike and was twice disappointed with vague driving directions and confusing hiking routes. New England Hiking is a great starting point for beginning hikers or people new to the area, but also terrific for locals searching for new adventures. While not as exhaustive as the AMC guides, this book has the benefit of being easier to read and choose hikes from than the AMC guides. The one downfall of this book is that there are no maps included, but I think that, given the scope of the book and the wide range of areas included, it would be nearly impossible to include maps. Many of the hikes I've been on have been rather complicated and would have been very tricky without maps, so you'll have to use the resources listed in the book to get maps because I wouldn't recommend hiking without them. This is an excellent resource for all New England explorers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent hiking guide!,
By Michael A. Davis "Appalachian Hiker" (Boynton Beach, Fl United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors New England Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 380 Hikes (Paperback)
This is an excellent hiking guide to New England and pretty exhaustive as well, especially in the White Mountains region. The book is very well organized and Mr. Lanza has a simple but ingenious rating system for both the scenic beauty and trail difficulty, both rated 1 - 10. So, you can pick how much work you're willing to exert for the visual return on your effort. The trail descriptions are quite good and driving directions are included. No maps are included but each trail description references appropriate maps and other information sources. Mr. Lanza is well written in this field and is a regular contributor to Backpacker Magazine.
