This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Madison: Including Dane and Surrounding Counties (Paperback)
This book has been a wonderful guide to our Sunday hikes with our dogs. It breaks down all 60 hikes into handy categories at the front of the book, if you are looking for a dog friendly hike, all of them are listed. Under each entry, there is a ton of useful information such as: level of difficulty, sunny/shaded, and how populated the trail is. We have found the descriptions to be accurate and have found so many lovely areas near our home that we never knew existed!

Hard to find information about hikes near Madison, WI,

This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Madison: Including Dane and Surrounding Counties (Paperback)
I own Bob Crawford's book, "Walking Trails in Southern Wisconsin". I have read his other book, "Walking Trails in Central Wisconsin" and "Hikes in Wisconsin" by other authors. At least 1/3 of hikes in"60 Hikes within 60 Miles of Madison" are not in these books.
"60 Hikes within 60 Miles of Madison" contains lots of helpful, specific information: locations of trailheads, difficulty level, how populated the surrounding area is, length. This information is accurate for the 5 or 6 hikes from the book that I have taken.
