Excellent introduction to Tennessee's many beautiful hikes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hiking Tennessee (Paperback)
We moved to Tennessee two years ago and bought this book in the first bookstore we visited. We've bought others since then, but this is still our favorite. The hikes are well described and there is enough extra info to provide interest without making you dig for what you need. Each hike gives you a goal (waterfall, overlook, wildflowers, etc.), and the trail difficulty is rated. There are simple maps which combine hikes in the same area, making it possible to plan a weekend without a lot of flipping back and forth. Others must like this book as well- I notice it's quoted on several popular hiking websites.

Experienced Hiker's Review,
By
This review is from: Hiking Tennessee (Paperback)
I have been an avid hiker for over 30 years in the Malibu area of Southern California. Over the years I have read many books on hiking. I will be relocating to the Nashville area and wanted to get an idea of what kind of hiking exists in Tennessee. This book does a fair job of presenting the information and overall is well organized by geographical area. The reason I am only rating it three stars is it is light on pictures and the maps presented do not give enough detail. There is a great book by Milt Mcaully called "Hiking Topanga" which does a far better job and rates a five compared to this book. The author would do well to revise the book following the example set in "Hiking Topanga".
