Synopsis

* Guidebook to short, easy hikes and trails your children will be comfortable on

New York's Catskills have long been an outdoor playground for families escaping from the city. Here's a guidebook that shows you hikes that the whole family can do. Best Hikes with Children in the Catskills and Hudson River Valley, 2nd Ed. includes games that will keep the kids engaged and enjoying the trails. From Catskills State Park, Bear-Mountain-Harriman State Park, Hudson Highlands, Shawangunk Mountains, Southern Taconics, the Long Path, and the Appalachian Trail, there's something for everyone in this all-inclusive guidebook.
Hikes detailed include shorter two- and four-mile hikes to six-plus miles and overnighters. Practical information on hiking with children -- setting a realistic pace, playing games, and encouraging personal and environmental responsibility -- make this a guidebook to recommend.

Review:

Back in the day, you loved hiking, but lately the only communing with nature you do is during play dates in the park. Get back to the woods with your kids (and pry them away from SpongeBob for a while) with the Best Hikes with Children series. (Real Simple)

This newly updated version of a classic can give you many opportunities to find places that will give you outdoors memories to last a lifetime. It's part of our treasure, so be sure to enjoy it! (Middletown (NY) Times Herald)

We all know about the hiking bounties of the North Cascades, but few of us think to look over the border at the trail offerings of our northern neighbors. This book remedies our provincial prejudices. (The Every Other Weekly (Bellingham))
