Trails of the Triangle: 200 Hikes in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill Area
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The Triangle is consistently rated one of the best places in the nation to live and work. Its rapidly growing population, now over a million, has generated a need for housing, shopping centers, and infrastructure_and for recreational facilities, among them hiking trails. Trails of the Triangle describes over 200 trails within a 60-mile radius of the Triangle, whether on federal, state, city/county, or private property. Included are the 23.4-mile Falls Lake Trail, the remote Buckhorn Trail, the many routes in Duke Forest, and the hikes in Raleigh's outstanding greenway system, the recipient of the United States of America Hall of Fame award in 1996. The reasons for the Triangle's ever-increasing popularity are well known among people who live here. But even longtime residents may be surprised at the full range of green spaces just outside their door.
