For 30 years, the Hostelling International - Nova Scotia trail guide has been the standard. Now, Goose Lane Editions has joined Hostelling International - Nova Scotia to present the seventh edition of this definitive guide. Completely rewritten and updated by Michael Haynes, the Executive Director of the Nova Scotia Trails Federation, Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia contains information about plants, animals, geology, and human history as well as up-to-date directions, difficulty ratings, and maps for hiking some sixty trails. Michael Haynes has recently hiked all of the trails contained in the book and has received permission to include those found on private property. Included are trails that will challenge the most serious of hikers as well as gentle excursions suitable for family outings.
