This is the best book I've ever found on walks in Dutchess County, NY. It includes short, medium and long walks and tells one just about everything one would want to know about the sites of the walks. It also tells you where to watch out for snakes, etc. It is also small enough to keep in your pocket. However, it is nicely bound so it will not fall apart under stress. This is a keeper and a great gift idea.
