Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Now it's easy to enjoy self-guided tours through some of the most beautiful scenery that nature has to offer. In one handy book, Hiking Minnesota provides 100 of the best day hikes from all over the Land of 10,000 Lakes. It features many of the most popular as well as least-known hiking trails throughout the state, including routes along the Lake Superior shoreline at the tip of the "arrowhead" in the northeast, the Land of Lakes region in the northwest, the St. Croix River Watershed in the center of the state, the Mississippi River Valley in the southeast, and the prairie and farmlands in the southwest.
Every hike includes
• an easy-to-read map that shows the trail's distance, approximate hiking time, difficulty rating, and points of interest along the way;
• descriptions of the area's history, terrain, flora, and fauna; and
• important park information, such as hours and dates of operation, facilities available, applicable rules, permits required, directions to the trailheads, and a contact address and phone number.
There's also a convenient trail finder that summarizes essential information about each featured path. Hiking Minnesota will guide you to the most scenic and interesting places along each trail. And with all the detailed information presented, each hike will be educational as well as enjoyable.
