Publisher's Synopsis
There are probably more hiking guides than there are mountains to climb and hikes to take. Finding a guide that addresses the Senior Hiker, however, is a daunting task. "Go Take A Hike!" fills this need and is tailored to the unique physical and mental challenges that the Senior Hiker faces in keeping active and healthy. "Go Take A Hike!" provides useful information for Seniors on how to prepare for hiking so it is both an enjoyable and a safe activity within their abilities. It is filled with tips on the "what, how, and when" of hiking and suggests 75 outings in Western Maine and the White Mountains of different lengths and difficulty where Seniors can put their know-how into practice on the trail, with custom designed maps, clear directions to trailheads and information for each hike. Whether you are a Senior who has never done more than walk around the neighborhood and may have concerns about decreased strength and agility, or a Senior who has been an active mountain hiker in the past and would like to get back out on the trail, "Go Take A Hike!" is for you!
