Excellent!,

This review is from: Nature Walks in Connecticut, 2nd: AMC Guide to the Hills, Woodlands, and Coast of Connecticut (AMC Nature Walks Series) (Paperback)
Great book with a great selection of trails, some only a few miles away from me that I was unaware of.
The book is set up so that it is very easy to plan each trip. The descriptions of the flora and fauna to be encountered on the trail are very detailed. As a budding nature photographer, this is a major plus. Love the book and recommended to anyone who lives in or is planning a vacation to Connecticut who wants to see the variety of landscapes and wildlife that the state has to offer.

This review is from: Nature Walks in Connecticut, 2nd: AMC Guide to the Hills, Woodlands, and Coast of Connecticut (AMC Nature Walks Series) (Paperback)
I was pleased to find this guide to discovering the natural areas of Connecticut. Since I bought it, my family and I have been on numerous hikes. The chart in the front helps us plan--if we have time for a bit of a drive and a day's outing, we can go farther to a new and spectacular hike. If we don't have much time, we choose one closer to home. It's a great way to explore our new home state.
