.The Adirondack Book: A Complete Guide by: Elizabeth Folwell, Neal S. Burdick 1992-11 Having spent much time in the Adirondacks, and with a child at school in Saratoga Springs, I was extermely disappointed with the scope of information in this "complete guide".

.A Bushwhacker's View of the Adirondacks by: John E. Winkler, Neal S. Burdick 1995-06 Winkler has done what so many other Adirondack High-Peak enthusiasts want to do - and then some. Not only has he climbed and documented dozens of unmarked highpeaks, but he has supplemented them with gorgeous and uniquely viewed photographs. These give a completely new perspective for any Adirondack hiker and is written with a practical approach. If you want a 'jump-start' on taking on some of these 'tougher' climbs, read some of Winklers stories and get going. Be one of those few that reach these remote peaks and discover the magical seclusion that Winkler shares. Great reading year round! >>See More Reviews & Details on A Bushwhacker's View of the Adirondacks |
