This month a second edition of “New Hampshire’s 52 with a View: A Hiker’s Guide” has been published. The first edition published in July 2019 had six printings and sold 2,500 copies and was the second bestselling book of 2019 at North Conway’s White Birch Books.

For the second edition, author Ken MacGray worked on revisions of descriptions of the hikes, scouted out alternative trailheads and parking lots, checked camping alternatives for each peak, gathered his own black and white photos of views from all the peaks, procured an overview map of the state to indicate where the different peaks are located, worked with AMC cartographer Larry Garland to get accurately measured LIDAR elevations of all the peaks and more.
