Hiking North Carolina's Blue Ridge Heritage

Reviews:

“Bernstein sends us out to explore not only the well-known
hiking destinations, but also the places...that have been neglected by
other guides.” --Leonard Adkins, author of Walking the Blue Ridge

“Danny Bernstein's Hiking North Carolina's Blue Ridge Heritage
introduces you to the best of western North Carolina's spectacular
hiking trails, and gives you something extra: an inside look at the
heritage behind the trails that even long-time residents and
experienced hikers may not know. With Danny's book, your hike will be
more than just a walk in the woods-- you'll develop an even greater
appreciation for these wonderful mountains.” --Penn Dameron, Executive
Director, Blue Ridge National Heritage Area.

“In addition to providing essential trail logistics for each day hike,
this book is a ‘trail compendium’ that deftly assimilates into each
description aspects regarding geology, geography, natural areas, flora,
fauna, and human history, not excluding the region's literary and
cinematic heritage. It's a guide for the twenty-first century
adventurer.” --George Ellison, author of Blue Ridge Nature Journal
