Author Biography

Alice Oldford has been a trail lover since childhood when riding her horse on the well-developed trails of the Watchung Reservation in Union County was a treat. Later when there was no longer a steed at hand, her own feet served her well. Then she learned about the benefits of exercise and endorphins and just kept walking. Her first book, You Can Get There from Here -- Hiking Hunterdon County Trails, in collaboration with Sue Dziamara, grew from their walking and exploring in Hunterdon County and wishing to share the wealth. This book broadens the quest.
