With this friendly and knowledgeable guide in hand, step into the beauty of

Vermont with your eyes and ears attuned to many aspects of the natural world.

Whether you love deep woods, history, wildflowers, or watery places, Elizabeth

Bassett’s revised Nature Walks in Northwest Vermont and the Champlain Valleyis an indispensible guide. Providing detailed maps, directions, and lots of photographs, Bassett describes the best aspects of forty-two special places to walk in her beloved state. These walks are for the whole family to enjoy (including the dog in some places).In addition to point-to-point guidance, Bassett fills the chapters with fascinating information: how animals stay warm in winter, plants and landscape that inspired Robert Frost to write some of his most beloved poems, how to identify ferns, the fun (and ease) of winter tracking and tree identification, and why (and where) whale bones and coral reef fossils can be found in the Champlain Valley. In all seasons, Nature Walks in Northwest Vermont and the Champlain Valleyis a companion to be savored and used, an inspiration to strap on your snowshoes or lace up your walking boots.
