I enjoyed reading this guide to snowshoeing in New England. The first part gives tips for dressing, purchasing snowshoes, weather conditions, and general information. Most of the book lists places to snowshoe and gives a map, directions, and an overview of the place. I live in Rhode Island, so before I go, I will check out some of these places. I appreciate the care and detail that went in to creating this guide.
