Natural Wonders of New Hampshire

Rating:
Summary: decent information but no maps
Review: With an emphasis on hiking, canoeing, bike trails and camp sites, this guide to beautiful spots in New Hampshire is a fine resource for recreational travellers with or without children. Divided into seven regions, each regional chapter discusses ecological and wildlife aspects in addition to a varied number of featured scenic places -- the coast (12), Monadnock (14), Merrimack Valley(11), Lakes (20), Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee (12), White Mountains (10) and the Great North Woods (8). Entries are about one page and contain directions, activities and contact information, including phone number and web site address.

The book concludes with an appendix of the state's "green" organizations, educational centers, and resources for maps and guidebooks, and an index.

I find the book is useful but not exhaustive, and would have rated it lower due to the total lack of maps, but the environmental/wildlife information is a welcome addition to the text. Only one general map of the state is included -- a real weakness.
