On Monday, October 1 at 7:00 PM, A Detroit-based journalist, Greg Tasker, will be on hand to discuss his latest book Five-Star Trails Ann Arbor and Detroit.

Five-Star Trails Ann Arbor and Detroit will steer you off the beaten path where you’ll find exceptional beauty and peace of mind. Each trail description provides directions and commentary on what to expect along the way. Each hike features an individual trail map, elevation profile, and at-a-glance information, helping readers quickly find the perfect trip.

Greg Tasker is currently the Assistant News Editor and Drive Editor at The Detroit News. He first became passionate about hiking while living in Pennsylvania and Maryland and has written hiking stories for Backpacker, AMC Outdoors, Scouting, France Today, Vermont Life, and other publications. He has hiked sections of the Appalachian Trail up and down the East Coast. Tasker returned to Michigan in 2002 and was surprised by the extensive network of hiking trails in the Ann Arbor-Detroit urban area. Extensive exploration of the diverse trail system led to his desire to share it all in a new and much-needed book.

Copies of Tasker’s book will be available for sale and signing after his talk.
