| 50 Hikes in the Maine Mountains Day Hikes and Overnights from Rangeley Lakes to Baxter State Park Cloe Chunn
"This place" is northern Maine, a magnificent and largely unspoiled stretch of landscape encompassing Baxter State Park, the Rangeley Lakes, Aroostook County, and much more. Chunn leads hikers up Maine's highest and most scenic peaks-Mounts Katahdin, Kineo, Traveler, and Doubletop-from gentle grades to vertiginious scrambling along the Knife's Edge. She leads you to waterfalls, remote ponds, lookout towers, swimming holes, and incomparable vistas. Hikes in this revised third edition range in length from 2 hours to 5 days, and provide something for hikers of all abilities. Each hike description includes a topographical map and information on mileage, rise, and terrain. Along the way Chunn provides information on the geology, wildlife, and history of each trail. And she places special emphasis on family hiking-how to choose the best trails for kids, and how to make the trip appealing to hikers of every age. "You could hardly ask for more, except to have Chunn along the next time you set out on the trail." "Along with historical anecdotes, flora and fauna, and well-scripted trail details, Chunn's love of the Maine woods shines through on every page. Her book is our bible when we hike in Baxter Park and other Maine locales."

After more than two decades of hiking," writes Cloe Chunn, "I am even more in love with this place."
