If you dream of tackling the Appalachian,
Continental Divide or Pacific Crest Trails but understandably lack
the time and resources for a six-month journey, Thru Hiker’s
Guide to America provides a cache of amazing alternatives.
Described are 25 "practical dreams" that can be hiked
in one to eight weeks.
Covering the spectrum of North American hiking, each trail receives
its own chapter featuring photographs, maps, reasons to go or not
to go, trail history, scenic highlights, points of interest and "Schlimmer's sidebars." Plus
you get detailed weather, terrain, water, wildlife and wildness
descriptions. A healthy list of recommended reading for each trail,
ranging from flora to cultural history, are included. The personal
narratives give you a boots-on-the-ground view of each path. All
brought to you by McGraw Hill. |
