The Wilson Daily Times

"100 Classic Hikes in North Carolina is the most professional and serious [hiking book for NC] while also being the most general, covering the entire state and all kinds of hiking. The thoroughness and the color photographs of beautiful scenery on the trails add to the books appeal…this book is a valuable resource for any hiker in North Carolina."

Decature Daily, of Decatur, AL

"The publisher touts this as a coffee table book that you can take hiking with you. I agree. The color photos in 100 Classic Hikes in North Carolina make you want to get of the couch and go exploring…[Miller] writes in a simple, yet descriptive, style that makes this much better than the typical guidebook."
