Editorial Reviews

Review

Anyone who is curious about the outdoors, or who seeks quiet or closeness to the landscape will find Walks And Rambles In The Western Hudson Valley a useful companion. The 38 walks described in detail range from a quarter mile to ten miles in length, and also include a range of difficulties, some wandering on gentle paths and others scrambling up the sides of mountains. The last chapter suggests 31 additional trails and parks for walkers to enjoy. The walks are grouped according to seven geological regions and give directions to the trailhead, trail mileage, and a comprehensive description of the route and sights along the way. Walks And Rambles In The Western Hudson Valley is fun for the armchair traveller as well as the walkers of hills. -- Midwest Book Review
