معرفی کتاب «Five-Star Trails: Knoxville : Your Guide to the Area's Most Beautiful Hikes» نوشتهٔ Molloy, Johnny، منتشرشده توسط نشر Menasha Ridge Press در سال 2011. این کتاب در فرمت epub، زبان انگلیسی ارائه شده است.
"No one knows Knoxville better than veteran outdoor-adventure author Johnny Molloy. Each hike text displays one- to five-star rankings in five categories: Scenery, Difficulty, Trail Condition, Solitude, and Appropriateness for Children. Each entry includes directions to the trailhead, at-a-glance info, a user-friendly map, GPS coordinates, an elevation profile, and a brief overview"-- Provided by publisher Like others in the Five-Star Trails series, this book features up to 40 day-hikes, ranging from 1 mile to 12 miles, in and near a midsize city--in this case, Knoxville.
The author has carefully chosen each hike to create a collection of routes suitable for a varied, but primarily local, outdoors audience. Based on the author's extensive and intimate knowledge of the region, some of the hikes represent a combination of two or more trails that create a unique route.
As a distinguishing feature of the series, as signaled by the Five-Star series title, each entry displays ratings of one to five stars in five categories for that hike. Those categories are:
• Scenery
• Level of Difficulty
• Trail Conditions
• Degree of Solitude
• Appropriateness for Children
The book's overview map provides a quick visual summation of the hikes' locations within the greater Knoxville area. Then, individually, each hike features an easy-to-follow trail map, elevation profile, at-a-glance information, and narrative description. The main text for each entry provides details about the route to follow. It also focuses on the most notable aspects of that route: for some, it may be the panoramic view; for others, a bit of local history Sized to fit in a pocket, the book’s detailed trail descriptions will help readers find their way on and off the trail. Driving directions and GPS trailhead coordinates will help with navigating the myriad of unnamed roads. The trails covered range from those best suited to the novice, families, experienced hikers, or backpackers.
