Walks and Rambles on Cape Cod and the Islands: A Nature Lover's Guide to 35 Trails (Second Edition) (Walks & Rambles) [Paperback]

Ned Friary (Author), Glenda Bendure (Author)

Book Description

Series: Walks & Rambles | Publication Date: March 17, 1999

A guide to the sandy beaches, old whaling towns, lighthouses, cranberry bogs and sheltered coves of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

The region includes some of the best bird-watching trails in the Northeast of the USA: salt marsh walks, woodland rambles, beach strolls, wildlife refuges, and the 40-mile-long Cape Code National Seashore. With a climate tempered by the sea, summers lingering into fall and winters are mild enough for all year-round hiking. Of the 35 walks described in this edition, 24 are mainland jaunts, 7 explore Martha's Vineyard, and 4 are on Nantucket. Each description includes a map, directions to the trailhead and commentary on local and natural history.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great hiker's guide to Cape Cod, August 27, 2000

This review is from: Walks and Rambles on Cape Cod and the Islands: A Nature Lover's Guide to 35 Trails (Second Edition) (Walks & Rambles) (Paperback)

Hiking enthusiasts visiting Cape Cod will definitely want to take this book along. On my last trip to the Cape I sampled several of the hikes in this volume and found them all to be wonderful. The book's detailed descriptions and clear maps of dozens of hikes of varying length and character make it easy to find the kind of places you want and navigate them easily. Don't leave home without it!
