If you like the great outdoors and are going to be in the Buffalo/Niagara region this book is a must. Everyone knows where the big attractions are, this author takes you to those lesser known treasures. These are off the beaten path, quiet locations that show the true beauty of New York State and leave the commercial touch behind. The true nature lover will not miss the concession and gift stands. The only other people you may find are other nature lovers. You'll feel like a true explorer the first time you see the eternal flame burning behind the waterfall and then climb up the root ladder. But use caution! These are off the beaten path and no safety's are around. It is truely at your own risk and you need to be nature savvy.

Completely awesome book for someone who wants to spend a day with nature. Gives specifics as to how to get to the particular place and the things you will encounter and enjoy on the way there. Hikes and trails are rated with difficulty levels so that you can choose them based on your skill and energy levels. We've visited a few sites already and plan to visit them all one weekend at a time. Do remember to bring the recommended plastic bag for litter with you so that we can all keep these beautiful spiritual places as healthy as they can be.

As this book is older there is room for improvement. Maps are drawings of the area not pictures of the official trail map on the site. But since the book is a bit older this is to be expected. I guess the book is discontinued to minimize the foot traffic on some of the more sensitive areas.
