Ramey hits another home run
As the title suggests, this book is a sequel to Ramey's first work, "50 Hikes in Ohio," which in my opinion is the finest guide to Ohio hiking availible. First, I will give an evaluation of this work on its own merits and then compare the sequel to the original. This book describes 50 hikes in the Buckeye state. The hikes are scattered throughout the state, but there is a noticably higher ...

Excellant for those who enjoy exploring the outdoors
This a great book for hikers in Ohio. It describes in detail many hikes of varying length all over the state. However, sometimes the descriptions in the book don't seem to match the actual trail. A more detailed map and a compass are often helpful. All this is not to say that this is not a great guidebook. The hikes described are beautiful and exciting. I especially recommend Shawnee ...

I should have known there would be few hikes in this area, just given the area and that I could not find ...

Perfect Companion for a Weekend Hike
I purchased this book several years ago and it has been my companion on many a weekend hike. In fact, a couple more weekends and I will have visited them all. Ramey includes information about each site, directions and step by step descriptions of what you'll see along the trail. The trails vary from well known and well traveled to obscure and isolated. Although most are of easy to moderate ...
