From the Back Cover
Mount Washington and the Presidential Range are considered the best of the best when it comes to New England hiking. Compiled from the same comprehensive research as the AMC White Mountain Guide, this lightweight hiking guide covers each spectacular trail, the highest summits, and the most scenic vistas in the heart of the White Mountain National Forest. The new 6th edition is completely revised and includes many great new features such as: detailed descriptions of more than 100 GPS-plotted trails; one full-color pull-out contour map; list of easy-to-moderate hikes; distances, times, elevation gains; trip planning and what to carry; following trails-maps and compass use, trail markings, advice if you're lost; backcountry hazards-hypothermia, lightening safety, brook crossings; camping-tentsites, shelters, trailside/fire regulations, low-impact camping, winter climbing; and history of early exploration and settlement of the White Mountains.
