By Robert Buchsbaum

New from the Appalachian Mountain Club, the experts in Northeastern hiking, AMC’s Best Day Hikes series gives hikers access to the most scenic trails in White Mountains, Boston, and the Catskills and Hudson Valley.  Inside every Best Day Hikes guide readers will find 50 to 60 detailed trail descriptions with maps, from short nature walks in unique natural settings to day-long hikes that reward with magnificent views. Readers can also use the guides to plan winter outings, as each trip description notes whether a trail is good for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.  Whether you have an hour or an afternoon, whether you’re a new or experienced hiker, AMC’s Best Day Hikes guides are essential four-season resources for anyone who wants to explore these spectacular areas.

AMC’s Best Day Hikes in the White Mountains
1-929173-88-4 • $16.95 • Paperback

This new guide from the publishers of the White Mountain Guide leads hikers to the best views, most dramatic waterfalls, and nature-rich trails the region has to offer.  Explore the three notches—Franconia, Crawford, and Pinkham—plus hike trails off the famous Kancamagus Highway and in the picturesque Sandwich Range.  Special “Nature Notes” for each trip satisfy the curiosity of nature buffs with information about the hike’s flora and fauna. The guide’s 50 hikes are keyed to the AMC’s White Mountain National Forest Map and Guide (1-929173-94-6, $9.95), which provides a landscape-level overview of almost the entire National Forest while also highlighting hiking trails and summits, camping and lodging, waterfalls and cascades, and scenic views. For hikers looking to sample the best of the WhiteMountains in all four seasons, there’s no better resource than AMC’s Best Day Hikes in the White Mountains

The guide is written by Robert Buchsbaum, a staff scientist for the Massachusetts Audubon Society who has spent years exploring the White Mountains with his family.
