"Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County" is the first published hiking guide aimed only 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.

BLUE MT. LAKE, NY (PRWEB) March 1, 2006 -- Pete Klein, author of the recently published vampire novel, "The Dancing Valkyrie," now takes readers into the Adirondack wilderness of Hamilton County, NY, where much of the action took place in the vampire novel. But the focus is now on the beauty of the land and the many trails in the area for hikers, snowshoers and cross-country skiers to enjoy.

ISBN # 1411675142

The hiking guide is currently listed in Books in Print, Ingram's database in the US; and Bertrams & Gardners, Nielsons Bookdata in the UK.

"Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County" is already available online at http://www.lulu.com/ravenwolfpublish and also at Amazon, B&N, Borders and over 30 other online retailers, plus numerous bookstores in and around the Adirondacks.

Klein says, "The hikes listed are hikes I have taken with my "hiking buddies," my granddaughters, who have kept me young and have provided me the needed excuse to get out and enjoy the woods. Most of the hiking stories have previously appeared in The Hamilton County News where I work as a reporter. Many readers of the paper have suggested over the years that I should put the hiking stories together in book form. For those who have enjoyed reading the stories in the newspaper, thank you for your encouragement. For those who have never seen them, I hope they prove helpful if you should decide to take a hike in this beautiful county I am privileged to call home."

The book is self-published, using the print-on-demand (POD) services of Lulu.com.
