I had an older edition of Fifty Hikes in the White Mountains back when I used to go hiking with friends, fifteen years and three kids ago, so I was happy to see a newer edition.
The title aptly describes the main purpose of the book; what is detailed here are fifty hikes of varying degrees of difficulty in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The authors might have played a little loose with what exactly defines the “White Mountains” as hikes in the book do include several which would be more aptly placed in either the state’s Great North Region or Lakes Region, but these hikes are only a short drive from people who might be based in the White Mountains region.
The series was originally authored by Daniel Doan, who died in 1993. His daughter, Ruth Doan MacDougall has prepared this most recent edition based on previous editions.
