This review is from: Hiking Pennsylvania, Second Edition (Paperback)

This book is in a series that I like to use with others. By itself it is an o.k. resource to have and one I hope will propell me and friends into the mountains to explore. Knowing that Pennsylvania isn't the Cascades but it still has the Appalatian trail I was still hoping for an easier time with the book and hiking. Got it used and I hope you do too.
