Title: Not a hiking guide......
Review: The 5 star reviews must have been written by friends. The hiking directions in paragraph form, which is not useful. Drive here, walk over the bridge, bear left, walk 0.5 miles, walk through the meadow, turn left at the stump(there are hundreds around). Half the time we did not know if we were going the right direction or not.Many of these hikes are MUCH easier to find and perform than the book describes. You can just as much useful help from the guide and the tourist traps in the area.Pictures of remote wooded areas should also include pictures of the entrance areas and trail heads.The maps are not detailed enough and quite amateurishly drawn. I am not quite sure what "accurate" means to other reviewers, but here in 2012 people use new-fangled devices with GPS tracking.The historical information is the most interesting and useful part of this book. This book should be priced at around $8.00. Forget it for a hiking "guide", but it's ok for a description of the trails.
Is the review positive or negative?
