Personal Review: Best Loop Hikes: New Hampshires White
Mountains to the Maine Coast (Best Hikes) by Jeff Romano
"Best Loop Hikes" is a great resources for hikers of all levels. Many books
have been written about hikes in Maine and New Hampshire, but I haven't
read one before which focuses specifically on the White Mountains and the
Maine Coast. I was pleasantly surprised when the book I pre-ordered from
Amazon came in before the April 2006 published released date. The book
will especially appeal to those who also enjoy wildlife: each hike describes
local flora and fauna, with a particular emphasis on native birds. The
author also plugs local land trusts, the conservation organizations that
preserve local parcels of land, maintaining them so that hikers and others
can enjoy their trails. There is also historical information provided for many
of the surrounding areas. This is an excellent resource for both avid hikers
and the more casual walker.
