Great Hikes in Northern Vermont

Rating:
Summary: Good start for new hikers, Not so good for the experienced
Review: I purchased this product because I frequently find myself in Northern Vermont and wanted a way to find a few good trails. This product contains several maps (each map features only one hike) for hikes in Northern Vermont. The maps are done in a neat format where they show the views from mountain summits as well as sharing some good information with you. The maps however are incredibly basic. A serious hiker would be better served by more detailed maps.

I also found the information on mileage and timings to be questionable. I am a fairly experience hiker and have never questioned the distances or the times so much as I did with this product. Also, there is no information on Vermont hiking in general. I went up to do some late season snow shoeing and found myself right in the middle of mud season when many trails were closed. It would have saved me a good 2 hour car trip if I knew about this ahead of time.

All in all, I think this would be a great product for those who are less serious or newer hikers. For those more serious, check out the Green Mountain Club's line of books.
