Lynn lives in Raleigh, where she writes travel stories for the Raleigh News and Observer and consults with high-technology companies about their publications requirements. An avid hiker, cyclist, and sea-kayaker, Lynn is also the author of A Season on the Trail and Great Adventures in North Carolina.

From the Back Cover

It's time to take a hike! No more excuses like 'there's nowhere to go around here,' 'the woods are too far from the city,' or 'I don't have time to wander the trails.' With 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Raleigh as your guide, you have dozens of places to hike to your heart's content, and all within an hour's drive or less. Trailblazers scour the earth for the best places to explore, and yet they often overlook their own backyards. 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Raleigh blows the lid off the myth that you can't have a great hike close to home. The Triangle area may be an ever-expanding metropolis, but there are still plenty of super hiking options: short hikes, long hikes, hikes for kids, urban hikes, rural hikes, wildlife hikes, historic hikes, and many others. Whether you live in Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Raleigh provides you with the information you need to choose the perfect day hike, including maps, directions, trail lengths, hiking times, and a wealth of detail about the trail itself. So lace up those boots, sling that pack, and hit the trail! (6 X 9, 224 pages, b&w photos, maps)
