Happy Lonesomes: A Guide to 15 Eastern Adirondack Hikes That Are Long on Scenery and Short on Crowds, Revised Edition
A new, revised edition of this popular guide to 15 Eastern Adirondack hikes!
This revised edition takes into account recent trail changes and, bless their hearts, hyperactive beavers, offering hikes for all outdoors enthusiasts.
We may be social creatures, but there are times when we all need our space. Solitude has become harder to find in the Adirondack Park, but at 6 million acres, there’s bound to be a spot or two that the masses haven’t discovered.
Happy Lonesomes finds those spaces for you, exceptionally scenic locations on- and off-trail where you are virtually assured of having the wilderness all to yourself. More than a trail guide, it enriches the wilderness experience with history, humorous stories and ecological interpretations
Some of these spaces offer stunning, dramatic vistas; some reflect the subtle charm of a cozy forest or shimmering pond. Some take a degree of effort to reach, some are scarcely more than a woodsy stroll.
Whatever your tastes, Happy Lonesomes will lead to those special, secluded spots where nature's wonders cleanse worldly toxins from your soul, and enchant and inspire the sense of exploration that resides within us all.
