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: Washington, DC as your guide, you have dozens of places to hike to your heart's content, and all within an hour's drive or less.

Whether you live in Washington, DC or the surrounding area, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Washington, DC 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.
