DESCRIPTION
"Mountains for Mortals: New England" is the quintessential New England hiking guidebook with meticulous directions, comprehensive trail descriptions, detailed maps, precise orienteering data, and exhilarating photos.
Explore New England’s most unique and scenic mountains following the best and easiest trails to the most dramatic summits. From majestic Mount Katahdin in northern Maine, to barren pinnacles along the rugged coastline, to the top of the northeast on towering Mount Washington, the finest peaks are included.
Every New England state is represented and many trailheads are just a short distance from major metropolitan areas. Others, such as distinctive Camel’s Hump in northwestern Vermont and Mount Lafayette on Franconia Ridge in northern New Hampshire, are located in remote, pristine wilderness settings. Each climbing description includes trail conditions, weather advice, lodging and camping options, ideal hiking times, and other pertinent information.
Although New England contains three of the four most densely populated states in the country, there are still numerous natural sites to be explored in this beautiful area, and this detailed guide catalogs the most unique and scenic mountains. From Mount Katahdin in Maine to the peaks above the coastline, the finest hikes are included here, along with beautiful photographs of the land and precise directions and descriptions.
