Jeff has detailed a range of trails, from nearby hikes you can knock out before dinner, to those promising more challenge and big rewards in terms of views and solitude. The hikes described in this guidebook showcase the breadth and diversity of New England's picturesque landscapes: from the sand dunes of Cape Cod to the lofty summits of the White Mountains, from the sweeping ridges of the Berkshires to Maine's rocky coastline, from the traprock cliffs of the Connecticut River Valley to the lush forests of Vermont. Taking advantage of the patchwork of conserved lands protected over the past century, the book showcases the region's premier hiking destinations, including national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges; state parks, public lands, and wildlife management areas; and land trust preserves. | Day Hiking New England by Jeff Romano, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
