First Person
I have spent most of my life concerned with the Adirondacks. From my experience writing thirteen Adirondack guidebooks, I know intimately its forests, lakes, mountains, and rivers and I have employed that knowledge as a foundation for other research. As a member of several boards and advisory committees dealing with Adirondack issues, I have been most concerned with recreation in the Forest Preserve. - Barbara McMartin |

McMartin has been hiking in the Adirondacks for decades; her family, for generations. She
has distilled her vast experience into the 50 hikes offered here, representing a
cross-section of the wilderness and wild forest: rugged peak climbs, gentle trips to
distant waterfalls, bushwhacks to wild rivers.
