Product Description
A gentle hiking guide to Rhode Island's diverse natural and historic treasures.

For years Ken Weber has been educating visitors and natives to the historic and natural wonders of the Ocean State. The 40 walks and gentle hikes in this new guide reveal the best terrain the state has to offer, both urban and rural.

This guide includes the cliffs of Block Island; the beaches of Ninigret and Napatree; the quiet woods and fields of the Northwestern Corner; the wildlife sanctuaries and islands of Narragansett Bay; and the mansions of Cliff Walk in Newport. The walks range from 1.5 to 9 miles in length, from gentle strolls to more challenging day hikes. Each chapter includes directions to the trailhead, a detailed map, a complete description of the route, and natural and historic highlights you'll see along the way. 30 black & white photographs, 41 maps.

I love this book because I have been in the house with an illness for almost 5 years and have not gone to those special places that I want to go to in RI. I am so grateful for this book and being able to start to see those beautiful tucked away places in RI.
