"Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County" is the only published hiking guide aimed at trails and attractions in Hamilton County, NY, the least populated county east of the Mississippi River. In addition to being a trail guide, the book offers tips on many outdoor activities, state campgrounds, local chambers of commerce and who to call in an emergency.Readers of this books previous edition have said, "Ordered this book for our recent vacation in Hamilton County, NY. The trail descriptions are accurate, the bits of local info and history added to our enjoyment. We found the driving directions to be the ONLY ones we could rely on. All other brochures for the area were vague and landmarks were loosely described. I consider this book a must have if one is planning hiking the trails of Hamilton County.
Author Biography
Pete Klein was born and raised in Detroit, Mich. where he attended Notre Dame High, Harper Woods. After high school, Pete joined the US Navy and served as a Corpsman in New Port, RI, and Long Beach, CA. Klein has been living in the Adirondacks for the past 28 years and has been a reporter for the Hamilton County Express for the past 14 years. It was going to work as a reporter that finally moved him to return to his early dream of writing books. The hiking guide book to trails in the Adirondacks, while very different from the four vampire novels Klein has written, was a natural for Klein who loved the outdoors and the northern woods even when growing up in the city. In addition to writing for the paper and writing books, Klein also writes book reviews for AllBooks Book Review.
