Reviews
Novice and veteran hikers alike will greatly benefit from the wealth of information provided in this compendium of hiking tips. Every conceivable topic--from preparation and planning to coping with the return home--is covered in an enjoyable, conversational writing style sprinkled with delightful stories of life on the trail. Combining their years of experience, the authors share their knowledge of equipment, orientating, safety measures, and group ethics and provide practical tips on hiking etiquette and trail cuisine. Worthy of special mention is a section on hiking with children. All material is well presented and useful for quick reference. The inclusion of photography tips, journal writing, and hints that aid in one's appreciation and understanding of the natural world make this great reading for hiking enthusiasts. Parents, partners, and seasoned packers will welcome this super additon to library shelves.
