This is an attractive, pocket-friendly guide to walks on sixteen of the best trails
through preserved open space in Princeton, New Jersey, and its neighboring towns.
This revised edition includes eight new walks, several of which have been created
on land that has been preserved since the popular guide was originally published in
2009. The walks range from two to four miles, but many include suggestions for trail
connections that allow you to extend your hike if you choose. The guide includes detailed
color maps of the trails, directions on how to get to them and where to park, and
recommendations for the most scenic routes. Each walk has been designed with a "reason
to walk" in mind: a special boulder or waterfall to find, a bit of local history or
a beautiful vista to enjoy. The guide is illustrated with specially commissioned color
photographs, sixteen of which are featured on detachable postcards. A guide to 16
