Art Bernstein's tales of the strange-but-true events that occur on a hiking trail--or just while trying to find one--cover ground from Juneau, Alaska to the Florida Everglades. These 13 (well, 14--but two happened on the same hike) tales of unexplained phenomena, mythical beasts, and just-plain Weird Hikes are sure to entertain avid hikers and the people who love them.
Entertaining, thought-provoking, and funny, this collection of essays is the result of a lifetime of hiking and an inspiration for readers to get out and experience their own Weird Hikes.
Art Bernstein is the author of 13 nature and hiking guides, including Falcon's Hiking Oregon's Southern Cascades and Siskiyous, and is an avid hiker and naturalist with a M.S. in Natural Resource Management from the University of Michigan. He has lived in Grants Pass, Oregon, since 1970 and he claims that weird things have only happened to him on 13 of his hundreds of hikes over the years.
