So far so good...

I have bought this book based on a friend of mine telling me that everything in this book is almost to a "t" as to what you find on the trails. The map that comes with it is awesome to help show what trails connect to where. I am very excited to start using this book when I start my quest to climb all 46 starting this summer. I would highly suggest this book for any one who wants to hike in and around the ADK HP area.
great book!

Indispensable guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
If you ever travel to the Adirondacks for hiking in the High Peaks, this little guide book, complete with fold-out map, is an absolute must. It's the 2004, 13th edition of the guide first put out in the 1930s. I wasn't around back then, but I imagine the trails have changed a bit. They're maintained very well, for the most part, but the occasional tree-fall and rock slide does alter the landscape over time, so keeping your guides up to date is a good idea. The large, very detailed map, of course, is wonderful. But other indispensable aspects of this little book are the exact locations of the trail heads, as well as descriptions of each trail, with accurate assessments of their difficulty--easy, moderate, or difficult. This guide will help you find the trails most suited to your abilities, and enhance your wilderness experience many times over.
A must for exploring the 'Dacks

This comprehensive book is a must for anyone exploring the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks. I use it as my bible to plan every trip I take to the area. The topo map alone is almost worth the price (although it can be purchased separately). The editor, Tony Goodwin, is born into a family of hikers, and is very involved with the DEC and ADK mountain club. He's a valuable source of information not only on the trail conditions, but on the future plans! I had a privilege of working on a trail construction project to build a new route that he spearheaded.There are only two things I would like to see in future editions:1) A more thorough listing of the locations of designated campsites (aside from those surrounding lean-tos)2) Time/ distance/ elevation estimates for the unmarked/unmaintained trails of the 46 High Peaks.For the unmaintained trails, Barbara McMartin's Discover the Adirondack High Peaks is more thorough.
