Be prepared for some serious dreaming and scheming Hiking for Her

From page 1 this book took my breath away. The views are to die for, the cultures are amazing and the vacations these locations will inspire - never ending. Instagram: @books_with_bethany

a modern-day wish book. Hiker to Hiker

I absolutely LOVE this book and would recommend it if you love nature and hiking, or just want to relax at home and arm chair travel! Instagram: @nature.books.coffee

While there were many hikes at the difficult or expert-only levels, there were also several easy and moderate ones. Distances vary from one mile to several hundred, with trip lengths from a couple hours to several weeks or even months. If you're looking for remote places to enjoy the solitude, this book has it. If you're looking for something closer to civilization, this book has that, too. Musings of a Literary Wanderer

The marvel of the book is learning about the wide variety of hiking opportunities if you are just beginning to explore the world of hiking or to expand your knowledge if you have only hiked on one continentYou will find a well written description and a what youll find on the hike. And those photos. Its those photos that truly bring the descriptions alive. Books, Cooks, Looks
