Customer Reviews: Thoughtful, well-designed September 29, 2003 Ken Zirkel (Somewhere in New England) 19 out of 20 found this review helpful
This series stands out from other hiking books for its organization and informational approach. Best feature: for each hike there is an elevation graph which displays a line which represents a cross-section of the trail. The line rises and falls with the elevation of the hike. This feature alone is worth the price of the book, as you can tell at a glance how steep your hike will be. The book also has a generous helping of maps and photos, and generous informational sidebars (where to eat, schedule, fees, surface, who owns the land, what other trail users you can expect, and more more more).
Fantastic Book March 21, 2010 Charlie (MA USA) This is the perfect book for people wanting to hike/backpack in MA. I borrowed a copy from a friend and ended up buying my own. You will not be disappointed.
