Product Description
The fourth edition of a classic, newly revised and updated by the legendary author's daughter. Few trail guides have been as praised, as loved, or as dog-eared as 50 More Hikes in New Hampshire. The trails in this collection range from gentle nature walks to rugged peak climbs, from day trips to extended backpacks, from the Massachusetts border to the northern reaches of New Hampshire. Each hike description includes driving directions to the trailhead, a topographical map, and a mile-by-mile account of the route you'll take--its features and its history, both natural and human. But authors Daniel Doan and his daughter Ruth Doan MacDougall also create for you a portrait of each trail that is personal, charming, and filled with gentle humor. They tell you where to go--and why.

Varied and Detailed...excellent source!

I have over a dozen books on hiking in New Hampshire (my favorite state and place to climb) but this has to be one of the few that really gets detailed on the trail's good points and bad ones and what to watch for.
The trails are varied, some long and more of 'getting there' attitude and some short but very scenic. The authors really let you know about spots to stop at and why and other neat things to watch for.
I have done at least 12 of the 50 and plan on all if I am able in this short life, lol. No complaints about the descriptions. Also very pleased with the accurate info on parking and directions to the trailhead, which is confusing in some other books.
This is the second book to the 50 Hikes series for New Hampshire, both are unbelievable and invaluable in their information. This one takes us from Barrett Mountain in Southern NH (which by the way is impossible to find informative hiking information on)through the Whites and even one in the Far North. There are quite a few essential 4,000 footers in here, so don't miss out!

I found this book to be extremely helpful. It makes planning a hiking agenda easy. Great maps and detailed overviews. This book gives you the confidence to allow you to explore more of New Hampshire. No matter which trail you decide to take on...you will know what to expect. Even gives guides to "rainy day" hikes. The only drawback is that you will want to pack it with you!
