It's rare as a book reviewer that you find something to rave about - but then that's what makes a special catch so special. Such a book is Take A Hike!. You know you've found a good hiking guide when the corners of the pages are well-thumbed and there are bookmarks and souvenirs (like pressed leaves) in between pages after only a few months.

The greater Rochester area has plenty of trails for you and the kids to enjoy and explore the great outdoors. And locating those trails has never been easier thanks to Take A Hike!.

Don't be fooled into thinking that all of the walks in Take A Hike! are easy ones. The Freemans have rated their hikes by using a "boot" system - a one-boot trail is easy hiking, whereas a four-boot trail might involve more serious vertical walking.

Imagine hiking through the Lost City of Tryon, navigating Plaster Woods, and exploring Hardwood Swamp. Such names conjure images of exotic getaways. But actually, these are local hiking trails featured in Take A Hike!

Take A Hike! is a real discovery, with the rewards being not just the book itself, but the hiking and knocking about that result from it. It is a book rich in experiences - a book that the reader will not only want to explore, but take along on further explorations.
