Synopsis
From the Blue Ridge Mountains to rolling forests and farmlands
to coastal beaches and islands, Virginia presents a varied landscape
with a multitude of hiking opportunities. Hiking Virginia, formerly
The Hiker's Guide to Virginia, takes you to the highest point in the
Old Dominion--Mount Rogers--and along the beaches of the Assateague
National Seashore, through the historic Richmond area, into Shenandoah
National Park, and to dozens of hiking areas, some well known, others
relatively undiscovered. The guide has been updated and includes phone
numbers to call for further information, with recently changed area
codes. The book can be used to plan leisurely family strolls, urban
walks, and overnight backpacking trips. Hiking Virginia, by travel and
outdoor writer Randy Johnson, includes 50 hikes-a sampler of the
state's most scenic and historic paths. The book also contains
detailed maps for each hike, black-and-white photos that give glimpses
of the landscape, and sections of history, geography, and safety.
Hiking Virginia is an essential item for all hikers in the Old
Dominion.
