The best part of the book: The hiking recommendations at the beginning, where you can select your hike according to length, accommodating children or the elderly, hard-core hikes, hikes with some portion of the hike on concrete or asphalt, hikes good for dogs, mostly flat hikes, steep hikes, alpine hikes, hikes along water, wildlife hikes, geological hikes, foot-traffic-only hikes and even hikes that are still fun in the wintertime -- which is, sadly, quickly approaching. This guide retails at $17.95; find it at your local bookstore.
