These guides were originally published in 1980. A lot has changed since then. These excerpts were provided for historical purposes and not intended to get you from point a to point b on any of the trails we have listed. There is a lot of trail history in these pages. The best reason to look at these pages is the writing style, the assortment of historical facts and Milt's botanical observations.
