This comprehensive hiker's guide to Vermont has been updated and revised to include all the latest information about popular and off-the-beaten-path trails and routes in the state, including all the trails that have been changed by weather and time. A full-color book with maps and elevation profiles, 50 Hikes in Vermont includes classic peaks like Camel's Hump, Mount Mansfield, and Mount Ascutney, as well as revealing many lesser-known gems. Hikes range in length from a half-mile stroll to overnight backpacking trips. Every hike description includes a topographic map, mile-by-mile directions, and information on distance, difficulty, terrain, and hiking time. The hikes are enlivened by knowledgeable commentary on the area's geology, history, and wildlife. From gentle nature trails to rugged peak climbs, from remote ponds to historic ghost towns, from rushing waterfalls to rare peregrine falcon habitats, the Green Mountain State is a classic hiking destination.
