Mountain biking is allowed on a few of the trails in this book. It’s a good idea to be alert when hiking these trails, and yield to riders. Some multiuse trails in this book are also used by horseback riders.

Trails labeled for backpacking are good for overnight or multiday trips and have areas along the trail suitable for camping. In most areas other than those classified as wilderness, there are designated campsites. Check with the agency responsible for the area for information about required permits and advance registration.

BEST TIMES

Most trails in this book are suitable for hiking during any season of the year. Fall is a prime season due to favorable weather and attractive foliage. Spring is also popular due to mild temperatures and blooming wildflowers. Keep in mind that some trails in higher elevations will have better views in winter due to the reduced foliage, but you should take extra caution to be prepared for cold temperatures. Summer can be extremely hot and humid, so be sure to carry plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
