Featuring over 1,000 hikes from across Florida, this comprehensive guide to experiencing the state's outdoor landscapes is fully updated in a new edition

Hiker's Guide to the Sunshine State is the definitive guide to experiencing the Florida outdoors through hiking. Featuring trails in environments as varied as jungle-like forests with aquamarine springs, longleaf pine savannas, grassy prairies, and coastal sand dunes, this book includes over 1,000 hikes from across the state--including portions of the 1,500-mile Florida National Scenic Trail, the state's premier hiking destination--tried and tested by the authors, avid hikers Sandra Friend and Chris Stevens.

This fully updated second edition contains almost double the number of hikes as the first. Organized by cities within regions of the state, it includes detailed featured hikes the authors find particularly outstanding for each city along with many other recommended hikes, including accessible hikes friendly to wheelchair users and walkers of all levels. From short interpretive nature trails to day hikes of every length to multiday backpacking trips, this book details opportunities for discovering the more than 80 natural communities that make up Florida's incredible habitat diversity. Complete with overview maps, logistical information, and hike descriptions, this guide is a user-friendly trail companion for beginners and experienced hikers alike.
