Describes 62 hikes throughout the Park for children. How to get to the trailhead, round-trip distances, and ascents. By Rose Rivezzi and David Trithart. 176 pages. Softcover.

Excellent advice, maps, & suggestions for family hiking.

The Adirondack wilderness area in northern New York State has hundreds of various types of hiking trails, from the 4-5,000+ foot High Peaks area, to short hikes to waterfalls and other ecologically interesting places. The authors provide excellent recommendations on hikes that are appropriate for families with children. They provide clear directions and maps to specific trails and describe the length and degree of difficulty. For people who live in the region, or anyone thinking of vacationing in this beautiful area, this book would be an outstanding resource. The Adirondack Mountain Club is also sponsoring the Kid's Challenge Patch, which hikers can receive for completing a certain number of hikes from those listed in the book.

Superb Starter Guide!

I picked this item up at the local big box book store for its shelf apeal. I haven't been disapointed. There is a focus on the high peak region. But, it is a great started for those thinking of trying some of the not so popular hikes away from the high peaks. This book allows a quick guide to most of the Adirondack Park as a whole. I use it with other resources for more spcific tail guides and hiking planning. I one case it was used on a full day of hiking (12 or so hours) that I my wife, kids and some of their friends did. This book will excite you and your family to get out and hike! (then buy more and more stuff to explore more and more, hehehe!)

Helpful, although I thought a trail that was described as being 'rarely steep' was extremely steep!

This book is a great first step.

We found this book a great introductory teaching tool and motivator. With the help of Kids On The Trail my daughter enjoyed hiking in the Adirondacks. Mt. Jo and Mt. Hadley were amazing!!
