Written by award-winning outdoor editor and author Phil Bloom, this guide includes more than 70 hikes, ranging from easy afternoon jaunts to multi-day backpack trips. Enjoy the richly diverse offerings throughout the state, from Indiana Dunes National Seashore on Lake Michigan to the rolling hills of Brown County State Park, from the banks of the Wabash River to the Charles C. Deam Wilderness in Hoosier National Forest.
Each featured hike includes detailed hike specs and descriptions, trailhead location, mile-by-mile directional cues, gorgeous full-color photography, and detailed maps throughout.
Phil Bloom is a native Hoosier and lifelong resident of Indiana.

Bloom is an active member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America and served as the group’s president in 2008 and 2018. He is an Eagle Scout and an Indiana Certified Master Naturalist. He lives in Fort Wayne and is a volunteer board member of the Indiana Parks Alliance
