First published by ADK in 1934, this new 13th edition remains the essential guide to trails of the Adirondack High Peaks region. Includes the latest trail routes, designated campsite and lean-to locations, DEC regulations, and updated trail mileages. The latest edition of the High Peaks topographic trail map is included. Edited by Tony Goodwin and Neal Burdick. 13th ed. 300 pages, 5" x 7". Softcover (includes folding map).Indispensable guide If you ever travel to the Adirondacks for hiking in the High Peaks, this little guide book, complete with fold-out map, is an absolute must. It's the 2004, 13th edition of the guide first put out in the 1930s. I wasn't around back then, but I imagine the trails have changed a bit. They're maintained very well, for the most part, but the occasional tree-fall and rock slide does alter the landscape over time, so keeping your guides up to date is a good idea. The large, very detailed map, of course, is wonderful. But other indispensable aspects of this little book are the exact locations of the trail heads, as well as descriptions of each trail, with accurate assessments of their difficulty--easy, moderate, or difficult. This guide will help you find the trails most suited to your abilities, and enhance your wilderness experience many times over.
