Explore the beautiful Hudson River, from New York City to Albany.
"Paths Along the Hudson is at once a hiking guide that details the
salient features encountered along the way, and a Baedeker to the
geography, geology, history and ecology of the Hudson, as seen from
the paths that trace two shores. It's the kind of book that you can
peruse in your den prior to hitting the trail or stow in your
backpack as a resource to be consulted as you wind your way north.
Also, if you've never hiked seriously before, Perls' book contains
several excellent introductory sections to the gear, footwear and
clothing necessary for enjoyable trekking."-The Star-Ledger
