Massachusetts is home to a splendid diversity of hiking terrain. Follow the footsteps of the "hermit of Gloucester," who lived in a log cabin in Ravenswood Park from 1884-1917; observe cormorants, herons, egrets, gallinules, and kingfishers on windswept Plum Island; climb the Appalachian Trail up Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts; or take a wildflower walk along deserted woods roads in Conway State Park. This third edition includes three new hikes and takes you over more than 200 miles of trail. There are gentle walks for families with young children, moderately strenuous day hikes, and rugged outings for experienced hikers. Throughout, the authors provide knowledgeable commentary on the natural, geological, and human history of the region. Each hike is illustrated with a topographical map and includes complete information on: trailhead access, mileage and elevation gain and difficulty. In this edition, the authors have included GPS coordinates that locate the trailhead of each hike. An overview chart at the beginning of the book provides information at a glance to help you choose your destination.
