Hiking Vermont Guide Book

by Larry Pletcher (Falcon Publishing)
Hiking Vermont

200pp/photos/maps
ISBN: 1560443952

On the hiking paths of Vermont signs are not very common. Hikers need to know the right topographical map to bring along, how to get to the trailhead, the length and difficulty of the trail. Many also appreciate learning a bit of history as they walk. Hiking Vermont provides all this and more. This FalconGuide is divided according to the 11 natural regions of Vermont. The hikes described include views and rambles along the Taconic Range, poetic stops along the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail near Middlebury, the sound of the cascades in the Lye Brook Wilderness, and visits to a farmstead and a sugarbush with nearby swimming hole.
