The past two decades have seen a spectacular growth in the number and variety of trails in New Hampshire south of the White Mountains. Now revised and updated, this comprehensive guide from the editors of the White Mountain Guide describes more than 190 trails in central and southern New Hampshire's spectacular and accessible mountains, state parks, and Lakes region, including twenty-five new trails. The region's three major peaks--Mounts Cardigan, Monadnock, and Kearsarge--are covered in detail, as are the trail systems of the three largest state parks, Pisgah, Bear Brook, and Pawtuckaway. Each section opens with a list of every trail--and, new to this edition--it includes suggested hikes for all ability levels, so beginner and experienced hikers alike can plan just the right hike. The guide's full-color, pull-out, GPS-plotted contour maps of Mounts Cardigan and Monadnock are also revised, making them the most up-to-date maps available to these popular hiking areas.Special features include:>Updated descriptions of more than 190 trails in Southern New Hampshire's varied and accessible mountain, park, and lakeside terrain>Twenty-five new trails throughout the region>Full-color, pull-out, GPS-plotted maps of Mount Cardigan and Mount Monadnock >Notes about geology, flora, and fauna>Tips for trip planning, safety, map and compass use, and more>Helpful guidelines for backcountry hikers, including low-impact camping, winter camping, hypothermia, and more Read Less
