This website and the companion book are
dedicated to extending to all
the joy of being in the Lincoln National Forest that John W. Stockert
made possible with his book Trail Guide: Lincoln National
Forest. The
latest edition of John Stockert's book is dated 2002, and there have
been changes to many of the trails in the Lincoln National Forest --
additions, deletions, damage
from fire and flood, and reroutings. I have worked to bring
John
Stockert's work up-to-date. I have admired the wonderful
descriptions
in his book, and whenever possible I have retained his prose.
Please
pause for a while on the next web page to check out the links for
safety, electronics in the forest, and suggestions on how to use this
website. You can help to improve this website. Please send comments
and suggestions to LNFTG14@gmail.com.
Let us all enjoy the trails, safely and mindful of the treasures of the
Lincoln National Forest.
