Best Hikes dtw and a2- submitted by sara on June 17, 2020, 6:04pm There was only one hiking route that was new to me in the book: Scio Woods Preserve. But, if you are new to the area, this book is great. It gives you a map of each hike, the distance and difficulty, the things you might see,… very clear and easy to read.
