About the Book

Book Synopsis

Stretching
1,500 miles between Pensacola and the Everglades, the Florida National Scenic
Trail has over 100 trailheads, most located within an easy drive from nearby urban
areas. A guide to the best scenic day hikes and overnight trips along this
state-spanning footpath, Florida Trail
Hikes leads readers to showy overlooks, wildflower-dotted prairies, river
rapids, steep bluffs, tall sand dunes, and many other compelling destinations.

Updated in this third edition with the most current route details, this book
provides full-color maps, options for lengthening and shortening hikes, and
information on nearby towns for use as base camps. Selected from the personal
experiences of the authors, the hikes in this book include many loop trails convenient
for solo hikers as well as several accessible trail sections. Sandra Friend and
John Keatley also offer the backstory of the Florida Trail, first blazed in
1966, and the hidden history of Florida that hikers will encounter on their
journeys. Florida Trail Hikes helps readers of all backgrounds and experience levels plan an outdoor getaway
amid Florida's natural beauty.
