Southern Appalachian's 50 best tent campgrounds. Certain campground
attributes -- beauty, site privacy, site spaciousness, quiet,
security, and cleanliness/upkeep -- are ranked using a star system.

Since its establishment as a federally protected wilderness in
1964, the Boundary Waters has become one of our nation's most
valuable-and most frequently visited-natural treasures. When Amy
and Dave Freeman learned of toxic mining proposed within the area's
watershed, they decided to take action-by spending a year in the
wilderness, and sharing their experience through video, photos, and
blogs with an audience of hundreds of thousands of concerned
citizens. This book tells the deeper story of their adventure in
northern Minnesota: of loons whistling under a moonrise, of ice
booming as it forms and cracks, of a moose and her calf swimming
across a misty lake. With the magic-and urgent-message that has
rallied an international audience to the campaign to save the
Boundary Waters, A Year in the Wilderness is a rousing cry of
witness activism, and a stunning tribute to this singularly
beautiful region.
