The White Mountains of New Hampshire are the crown jewels of Northeast hiking. From Franconia Notch's abrupt and plush trails up Mounts Flume, Liberty, and Lafayette; to the gentler grades and shorter treks of Hedgehog and Stinson Mountains, and East and Greeley Ponds; to the legendary peaks of the Presidential Range, hikers of all ages and experience can find endless opportunities to put their feet on a path. Rediscover (or discover for the first time) the riches of the White Mountains with this new sixth edition that includes hikes in Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, and Pinkham Notch regions, as well as hikes of varying difficulty off the picturesque Kancamagus Highway and beyond. The 50 hikes here range in length from 1 to 33 miles, from easy walks to strenuous multiday backpacks. Each description includes driving directions, an account of the route, a clear map, and fascinating information about the history, wildlife, and lore of this rugged land.

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.
