5.0 out of 5 stars Northeast Outdoor Enthusiasts Rejoice!, December 26, 2000

By	JRK "jkunzvt" (VERMONT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Winter Trails Vermont and New Hampshire: The Best Cross-Country Ski and Snowshoe Trails (Paperback)

Yes! This book is very unique in that is written for a few, specific winter activities (x-country skiing or snowshoeing) in a few very specific locations (New Hampshire and Vermont). If you are in the market for such a book, you don't have many choices to begin with. You'll be happy to know that this book does its subject justice.

People in the Northeast will truly enjoy this book as it covers the best winter activity locations primarily in both the Green and White mountains but also in a few other various locations in each state (including Southern New Hampshire and Vermont). The guide includes point-to-point trail directions, specific maps, driving directions, facility information, and the usual historical fun facts that always fill hiking books.

I grew up in New Hampshire and now live in Vermont. To find this book that covers both of my outdoor winter playgrounds was a true find. If you are a big outdoorsy person looking for a guide to places to help you with winter activities, this book by Marty Basch will be a welcome addition to your library or backpack.

4.0 out of 5 stars A niche book for the winter outdoor enthusiast., April 20, 2007

By	Michael A. Davis "Appalachian Hiker" (Boynton Beach, Fl United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very well written book with lots of detail on how to get to a trail, description/map of the trail, whether it is suitable for snowshoeing or X-country skiing or both, as well as a few bits of trivia and suggestions for a good place to eat after a days outing to replenish. I only wish the book were 5 times bigger to cover more trails.
