Atlanta is one of the South’s premier cities, but it’s also home to some of the region’s most spectacular hiking and walking destinations. 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Atlanta helps readers find and enjoy the best nearby hikes, from Stone Mountain Park to the Georgia mountains, Sprewell Bluff to the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and a wealth of locations in between. Hikes range from pleasant family strolls to challenging treks for those looking for a serious workout and in addition to scenic beauty, many of the hikes, such as Burnt Hickory Loop and Cheatham Hill Trail, have historical appeal. Others, like the Grant Park Loop and Atlantic Ramble, feature major Atlanta attractions. Expertly drawn maps and trail profiles complement detailed trail descriptions, while a handy list indicates special interests — best hikes for children, scenic hikes, hikes for wildlife viewing, running trails, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great presentation of local hikes
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

Great presentation of local hikes. I checked this book out from the library and decided it was a keeper. I've found a few new ideas and I really enjoy the information presented in the at-a-glance sections, especially the sun exposure/shade cover information. The wheelchair accessibility information is also great to have because it generally lets me know if my nephew in a stroller can tag along.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Goldens did it again!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2013

The Goldens have done as much as anyone to encourage people to get out in front of their TVs and out on hiking trails. Thousands of Atlantans should buy this book and make an effort to get out on as many hiking trails as possible. This book makes that happen. It is concise and well researched and encourages outdoors enthusiasts to try hiking in new places.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2013

I was made aware for the first time, of the numerous hiking opportunities not just in north Georgia, but also within the Atlanta Metropolitan area. This aspect of the guide was a real eye opener. It is wonderfully complete in its organization as a guide. There is a thorough description of each trail. This book actually exceeded my expectations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't trust the Directions!
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2008
Pros:
1. Gave me and my family some different hikes than we had gotten used to and helped to change up our hiking trails with some variety.
2. Very good information about the trails them self; history, and stuff to look for on the trail.
3. Good graphs of elevation changes and difficulty.

Cons:
1. DO NOT TRUST THE DRIVING DIRECTIONS! On every hike in which I have relied on the driving directions they have been significantly wrong. #30 The Wildcat Creek Trail: we traveled an additional 10 miles down 53 before we finally stopped to ask directions and found out we still had to go another mile or so before we made our turn off 53. #36 East and West Lake Trail: Right and Left turns aren't correct off of I985 and even after we got going the correct way mileage was still not correct.

Free Advice: If you like hiking and are looking for some good hikes and aren't familiar with a lot of hikes or their history this is a good book for some different hiking ideas. Use google maps to get your directions before you leave or leave an extra hour to sort through the poor driving directions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep This One In The Car
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2012

Positively accurate in descriptions of how to get there, what to expect, distances of waypoints. I was amazed of the accuracy of details. The table of contents breaks up the hikes into very usable categories. I keep this in my car to be ready when the opportunity to explore presents itself.

This is a very good source of information, very accurate and provide information you won't even find in the trails web sites. Very nicely categorized at the beginning so you quickly jump to where you want to go and not spend hours searching through indexes or chapters. Very highly recommended for everyone who love hiking.
