New England encompasses natural breadth and diversity--from the sand dunes of Cape Cod to the White Mountain's lofty summits, from the sweeping ridges of the Berkshires to Maine's rocky coastline, and from the traprock cliffs of Connecticut to Vermont's green forests. This hiker's paradise beckons adventurers throughout the year.

In this guide, Jeffrey Romano describes the region's premier hiking destinations, including national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges; state parks and other public lands; and land trust preserves. He showcases both relaxing strolls and challenging treks across six states, while most of the featured excursions are 4- to 7-mile journeys appropriate for most hikers. Lace up your hiking boots or slip into your wading sandals; it's time to glory in gorgeous New England!
