3.0 out of 5 stars Good places to explore for a newcomer to the area, but poor directions, June 9, 2008
I moved to Atlanta last fall, and bought this book after looking at the (limited) options available to me at the local bookstores. Its a decent book - some nice places to explore in the Atlanta area. Pros - they go into detail about the history of the hike and offer lots of landmarks so you know where you are. (Not that I often read them!) Good amount of general information so one can determine what it will be like. I would agree with another reviewer that many of the "hikes" aren't actually hikes. I don't really count anything paved as a hike, honestly, but that that said, they are good ideas for outings.

Cons/Wishes for change:
Directions - they are sparse sometimes, and a few times just plain wrong. Confusing left for right on major turns, or leaving out a major turn have been a few of my experiences. While often correct, I've learned to bring along another map. It would be great if they could *consistently* mention parking fees as part of the directions. Often, the fees are noted in the body of the text.
Other minor negatives: The authors note some distant hikes - like the New Echota Trail, which is 1.9 miles and probably a good 2 hours to get to, but offer no other hikes in that area. It is difficult for me to believe there are no other hikes in the Echota area (N. Georgia Mtns) and a waste of time to drive that far for a 1.9 mile walk.
I would also love to see the authors note when there are many more trails in the area. Many of the Chatahoochee hikes are filled with additional trails in the same park area, and others have none nearby at all. When I come across extra trails, I like to explore those as well, and it would be nice to have a heads up about when to leave extra time, and when the walk will be only the trails noted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hiking in georgia, July 10, 2009
By D. Starkey (tennesee, usa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is great for people like my husband and I, who are just starting out. Lots of trails with little incline and easy hikes.
Even if you don't hike, some of the places listed in the book are fun to hang out at. You never know what's in your own backyard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful advice, February 17, 2008
By Dr. Charles Johnson "Dr. J" (Atlanta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We've enjoyed selecting a variety of walks and hikes from this well written book with accurate maps and descriptions. It's really quite easy to see how far the trail is from your location, and how long and difficult the "hike" will be. Really a good way to find new ideas for anything from a short walk to a strenuous hike.

60 miles as the crow flies. Some of these hikes can take you hours to get to due to winding forest roads. Read more
