Summary: Peter Kick's New Catskill Mountains Guide is Essential
Review: Anyone who has ever found himself out on a trail that suddenly seems to disappear knows the value of a good map and a good trail guide. Peter Kick's new Catskill Mountains Guide definitely falls into the latter category, and it even includes a pullout, color map! Detailed trail descriptions are interspersed with fascinating bits of history, trail ratings, campsite suggestions, and a voice that truly knows the landscape it describes. Plus, it's small enough to fit in a pack or even a pocket. As a hiker well on his way to attaining the Catskill 35, I wouldn't set out without it!

Summary: It's about time
Review: Finally, here's a guidebook from the best--the Appalachian Mountain Club. This is the ONLY Catskill hiking book that has a map included. It's also a GPS rendered map..the most accurate map of the Catskills EVER made!! You save big bucks when you buy this book, since you don't have to buy the NYNJTC maps as you're forced to do when you buy other Catskill guides. Also, Kick knows what he's talking about. He lives in the Catskills, and that makes a big difference.
--A fan.
