About this title

Review:

Now in its 4th edition, 50 Hikes In Connecticut: From The Berkshires To The Coast is a wonderfully portable guide to individual and family hikes across scenic Connecticut. The hikes are arranged according to estimated hiking time, and are subjectively rated for difficulty, and provides information on measured length and vertical rise. This information makes it easy to pick the perfect hike, especially when combined with the narrative description of terrain and features along the hike. Each hike describes an intriguing sample of the botanical and geological features easily spotted along the trail. Each hike also includes a map showing topography and key features of the trail and its environs. Careful directions to starting points and along the trail take the guesswork out of planning and route-finding. Concise suggestions in the introduction outline what to carry on a hike and offers tips on hiking technique and avoiding possible difficulties. Connecticut offers a full four seasons of hiking enjoyment to the properly prepared -- and this is truly a book for all seasons! -- Midwest Book Review
