Tom St. Germain

I did not intend to read this trail by trail guide to Acadia National Park from cover to cover but once I got started, I did just that. St. Germain provides just enough historical context that each trail becomes part of the larger story of the island and the park. One trail leads to another, one part of the island to another, and so one is carried along. At the same time though, he never strays from the essentials: what you need to know to choose a trail and then to follow it.
