5 comments about National Geographic Guide to 100 Easy Hikes: Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware (National Geographic 100 Easy Hikes).
- There's several books with basically the same theme and roughly the same hikes - e.g. those by Alan Fisher and those by the Appalachian Trail Club. This one does have more hikes described than any other single volume I've seen, but it doesn't have enough maps or sufficiently good trail descriptions to make it a hiking "bible". Only recommended for those folks who've already exhaused the other available guides and are looking for more.
- Having been on many trails in the region (and now many more thanks to this guide), I highly recommend100 Easy Hikes. It's as good as it gets for hitting all the hot spots in the Washington DC area- from nearby jaunts on the trails of Rock Creek Park to the lesser known gems in the Shenandoah. Additionally, the author's insider tips and her clear directions to the trailheads make this guide exceptional.
I was particularly impressed the "best of" recommendations. They were right on target. Neither bluebells nor waterfall classics escaped her attention. The maps, as you'd expect from the National Geographic Society, are clear and easy to follow. Anyone looking for a basic resource on the area should have this guide.
- I have been looking for a book just like this for some time now. Having hiked a fair amount in and around Washington I was running short on ideas for new hikes. I had tried the Appalchian Trial Guides and some other books that are out there but felt that while they were great on trail details they didn't provide much of the practical information that you want when heading out to a new destination. Especially enjoyed the author's editorial comments and trail descriptions which combined to make the book a pleasure to read. The author must be a dog lover as well which earns her points in my book. She marks each trail to let dog owners know if their pooches are welcome.
- Just tried to use this book for hike in North Point State Park and found it difficult to follow. Luckily, we had another guide with a map. This guide often does not have maps and the directions lack points on the compass, i.e. north, south, east, west.
- I love this book! Many other hiking books for the D.C. area list hikes that are much further out, but this book lists easy to get to, fun hikes that don't require an entire day for the hike and travel time. I have purchased this book for friends in the area as well, and we are looking at future hikes together.

4 comments about New River Rock, 2nd.
- The best rock climbing guide for the New River Gorge that covers both trad and sport. Has detailed descriptions of every route. Helpful graphics key that marks routes as trad, sport, or rainy day routes at a glance.
- thompson's book has long winded verbal descriptions but the maps and layout make it extremely difficult to use. He also neglected to put in Summersville Lake, one of the best sport climbing areas in the east. Steve Cater's New River Gorge Rock Climbers' Guidebook is definitely the book to buy it is also less expensive and is easier to use and includes Summersville Lake.
- By far the most comprehensive and user friendly climbing guide for the NRG. This guide includes history,route length,and first ascent information. In addition to,being a great guide the history makes a good read. Keep in mind this book does not cover Summserville Lake,but then again it doesn't claim to. For that pick up Cater's guide or Mcray's sport climbing guide.
- This was one of the worst guide books I have seen. If you've never been to the New do not buy this book. The driving directions to each crag, if there, were horrible. I have never been been so confused going to a new area, while using this book. Good luck trying to find the climbs, it's all backwards. ...

1 comments about Virginia Off the Beaten Path, 7th: A Guide to Unique Places.
- Where else but in the wonderful state of Virginia would you find five - not one, but five - "kissing bridges" - available for the curious traveler to visit? Jump in your car, forget about the busy highways. Instead, head to the red hued Sinking Creek Bridge in Giles County or the 150-year old Humpback Bridge in Covington, where you can eat your picnic lunch in the nearby park.
Judy Colbert covers these fascinating sites and much more in the 8th edition of Virginia Off the Beaten Path. Discover where to stop for interesting historical and cultural forays, where to eat and where to spend the night if you want to extend your road trip for another day.
This book provides info about sites and amenities in each geographical area of Virginia, so that you can plan the ideal road trip - or trips. You and your spouse can tour wineries across the state or you could introduce your young children to our country's history in a way that they'll never forget.
We highly recommend Judy Colbert's Virginia Off the Beaten Path.

- I have bought these maps for years. I have a Factory installed GPS and it is always a comfort to know that I have this map with me. Their is nothing worse in sales to be late for an appointment and when the GPS is not as up to date as your map this comes in pretty handy.
