Hiking Vermont | |
| • Larry B. Pletcher → Falcon 1996 | ||
Driving through Vermont, one notices the lack of billboards beside the road. Instead, a set of uniformly restrained signs point the way to roadside attractions and places of interest off the beaten path. On the hiking paths of the state, signs are even less common. Hikers need to know the right topographical map to bring along, how to get to the trailhead, the length and difficulty of the trail. Many also appreciate learning a bit of history as they walk. Hiking Vermont provides all this and more. This FalconGuide is divided according to the 11 natural regions of Vermont. The hikes described include views and rambles along the Taconic Range, poetic stops along the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail near Middlebury, the sound of the cascades in the Lye Brook Wilderness, and visits to a farmstead and a sugarbush with nearby swimming hole. Outdoor writer Larry Pletcher lends an afternoon hike or an extended trek atop peaks and ridges. The book's black-and-white photos give a sampling of the state's scenic treasures. Hiking Vermont also includes special sections on the Long Trail, hiking with children, and barrier-free trails that lead to great fishing spots, campsites, and more. Don't venture into the natural splendors of the Green Mountain State without Hiking Vermont in your pack. |

Each outing highlights points of interest and opportunities for learning about nature on the trail.
