50 Hikes in Vermont Walks, Hikes, and Overnights in the Green Mountain State

From gentle nature trails to rugged peak climbs, from remote fishing holes to historic ghost towns, from rushing waterfalls to rare peregrine falcon habitat, the Green Mountain State has much to offer hikers. This completely revised and updated sixth edition leads hikers up classic peaks like Camel's Hump, Mount Mansfield, and Mount Ascutney, as well as revealing many more lesser-known gems. The hikes range in length from a half-mile stroll to a 22-mile backpacking trip. Each hike description includes a topographic map, mile-by-mile directions, and information on distance, difficulty, terrain, and hiking time. An overview chart makes it easy to pick a hike for every ability. And each hike description is enlivened by knowledgeable commentary on the area's geology, history, flora, and wildlife.Green Mountain Club Staff is the author of '50 Hikes in Vermont Walks, Hikes, and Overnights in the Green Mountain State', published 2003 under ISBN 9780881505382 and ISBN 0881505382.
