What: You don't need to go far to find great hiking. Within about an hour of the DC Beltway, many trails offer solitude, surprising wildness, and challenges that will suit you. Some are dotted with historical artifacts. Others offer fine vistas from atop rugged bluffs. Learn about the best and how to prepare for them from some of the volunteer experts who put together Potomac Appalachian Trail Club's series of pocket guides on Hikes in the Washington Region. The latest editions of this inexpensive 3-book series describe 68 routes -- mostly circuits -- and many ways to shorten or extend those routes to fit your interests and level of preparation. See images from the hikes and get tips on where to go, what to expect and how to get ready from the team led by Larry Broadwell, revision editor/writer/photographer for the guidebook series.
