Genre: Non Fiction

Title: Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County-The Book

Author: Peter Klein

As an avid hiker myself, my bookshelf contains many hiking trail and guide
books. Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County is a unique addition in that it is more
personal than technical, more descriptive than mundane. I always find that I am bored by
the many maps, geological notes, etc included in many guide-books.
Peter Klein takes readers on a hiking journey, describing the flora and fauna, the
smells, the sounds, the sites and the feel of the area. He makes the trails real to the reader
and definitely convinces the avid hiker or the everyday walker that visiting this area
would be an excellent experience.
The book lists several areas in Hamilton County-Rock Lake Trail, Blue Ledges,
Whortleberry and Big Bad Luck Ponds. Each trail includes location, short history and a
recommendation for the best time of year to visit. The book also contains some excellent
tips and advice for readers before venturing into the woods, very informative for
beginners. Hikers and walkers should pick up a copy of this book if visiting Hamilton
County.
Peter Klein is the author of both non fiction and fiction. He incorporates much of
his flair for description into this book.
