Walk in the footsteps of travel writer Richard Frost as he samples the many opportunities available in upstate New York. In twenty years as a travel columnist, he has become convinced that this remains an underappreciated region offering a wealth of recreational, historic, and cultural destinations. He wants to share these with you.

These pages bring the reader (and potential walker) through cities large and small, into historic villages, past architectural treasures, and along paths taken by notable individuals. Routes pass long-abandoned forts, onetime industrial sites, and re-created nineteenth century heritage villages.

Suggested walks also include outdoor sculpture galleries, arts communities, former Shaker and Seneca Indian villages, and a Victorian-era summer school still relevant to the twenty-first century. Outdoor enthusiasts will find gentle mountains, woodland trails, nature preserves, canal towpaths, and hikes to waterfalls.

Enhance your knowledge of the region while finding new places, and perhaps a few familiar ones, to exercise muscles as well as mind.
