Walks in the Catskills,
By Joanneva12a (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walks in the Catskills (Paperback)
I've used this little book for years now on some of my day hiking excursions in the Catskills. Compact enough to fit nicely into a small packpack without taking up alot of room, it has taken me to many a trail to explore, some of which I didn't know even existed. In addition to trail difficultly, directions, and a bit of local history, there is also a section on wildlife, camping do and don'ts, and trip planning.

This review is from: Walks in the Catskills (Paperback)
I bought this nifty little book years ago and read it many times before I ever stepped foot in the forest. It is a great field manual chocked full of really cool historical information, nifty hikes and interesting photos. It could also be used as an armchair traveler, feeling that you are hiking simply by reading the book. In particular, there were some very interesting accounts of the very popular Catskill Mountain House Site where people traveled to, by steamboats, trains, horses, and Otis elevated rail systems from NY City before the advent of autos that ultimately killed the hotel business in this area. A final note - the author(s) of this book went on to become editors of Backpacker Magazine. Give it a read, and I hope you like it as much as I did.
