Got this book over six years ago, and I’m still using it even in my the age things like AllTrails and local hiking sites. I love the different categories you can pick trails by!

This is hands-down my favorite book for trails in the Adirondacks. I got this book two summers ago, and at this point, I've done about half of the hikes in it. I have not been disappointed by a single one, and I've also been incredibly impressed with how detailed and accurate the descriptions are. I have several trail books for the Adirondacks, but this one is far-and-away my favorite. If you are looking for a good starting point for hiking in the Adirondacks, I definitely recommend this book- you will not be disappointed.
