Explorer's Guide 50 Hikes in the Lower Hudson Valley: Hikes and Walks from Westchester County to Albany

Wonderfully clear and complete descriptions to plan a hike. I've tried several,finding them very enjoyable.

50 Hikes In The Lower Hudson Valley is a valuable guide to some good trails . Stella Green and Neil Zimmerman provide detailed descriptions on 50 quality hikes. The accompanying maps along with these vivid descriptions are pretty easy for someone who would like to lead a group of hikers. The pictures are quite scenic as well.The authors are a little inconsistent when it comes to providing telephone numbers for contact information about some trails. Also, the authors lock into one route on many of the hikes without taking into consideration easier trails for light hikers. However, the maps provided and the use of the internet can get around this minor issue.Nonetheless, this is a valuable reference book for many audiences.

Collaboratively developed and written by Stella Green and Neil Zimmerman, 50 Hikes In The Lower Hudson Valley is a practical and thoroughly enjoyable guide for hikers and nature walkers with an interest in enjoying the very best and most scenic routes in the Lower Hudson Valley area. Maps, trail descriptions, and black-and-white photographs round out this effectively put-together, "user friendly", and very highly recommended reference.
