Readers of this books previous edition have said, "Ordered this book for our recent vacation in Hamilton County, NY. The trail descriptions are accurate, the bits of local info and history added to our enjoyment. We found the driving directions to be the ONLY ones we could rely on. All other brochures for the area were vague and landmarks were loosely described. I consider this book a must have if one is planning hiking the trails of Hamilton County.
