The Allure of Deep Woods is an intimate, detailed account of a solitary trek along the Northville-Placid Trail, which meanders for 125 miles through some of the wildest, most remote backcountry of the Adirondacks.

The loons and owls calling out at night underscore these thoughts. The few hikers encountered along the way provide valuable insight. And the trail's many delights, as well as its hardships, keep it all in perspective.
