Fifty Hikes in the White Mountains: Hikes and Backpacking Trips in the High Peaks Region of New Hampshire (Fifty Hikes S by Daniel Doan

A great little book that accompanied me on more than one backpacking and/or dayhike trip in the beautiful white mountains. The topo maps with each article are not that large or detailled so I recommend a separate topo map or umm... GPS.
