60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Washington DC

Summary: Washington DC area-type hikes
Review: The title of this book makes one think it includes some nice moderate hikes in the DC area. Unfortunately, the hikes to choose from are on urban trails, highly used trails or extremely long trails. Although, I appreciate the selection of different hikes to choose from, none of them fit my personal taste for hiking. If the hikes are not long, they are in very noisy, unrelaxing areas of the DC area. I have been hiking in this area for quite a while and could come up with my own hikes that were more clearly explained and more peaceful than the spots mentioned in this book. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is new to the area or just beginning to hike.
