The way James writes, you feel as though he is talking to you - like you're having a conversation as opposed to reading a resource, it's a friendly vibe. There is also SO much good information! I bought it for the High Peaks trail info but there is so much more from what to wear, what to bring, trailhead info, High Peaks history, weather, safety info, Leave No Trace, and more!
I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to hike the High Peaks. It's a wonderful resource for arming yourself with the knowledge to keep you safe while hiking in the Adirondack Park and to respect this beautiful treasure that we all love to enjoy!
