Poconos Trail Guide

[Umsaskis]

My brother-in-law will be attending graduate school in East Stroudsburg PA next year, so of course since he will be living near the Poconos we will have to visit him....Does anyone know of a good trail guide for the Poconos? We would like to give it to him as a college graduation present and then we can use it when we visit! (Is that a selfish kind of gift, or what?)

50 Hikes in Eastern PA - Carolyn Hoffman, Backcountry Publications, Woodstock, VT

I have a 1982 edition of the book - I know its been updated since then, but don't know the current publisher.

Since he will be closer to NJ trails I would get the Circuit hikes in North Jersey. I went to ESU as well and there are a lot of great areas to hike in the NJ/PA area. For backpacking there is the AT as well as the Thunderswamp trail in the Delaware State forest. He will have a lot of great places to hike.
