"Long-distance walking is good for you and good for the earth...
But most of all, walking is a joyful celebration of life and the
diverse, beautiful, and curious world in which we live." --from the
Introduction
Walking is simple, but it can also be profound. In an increasingly
complex and frantic world, walking can simplify our lives. It
encourages intimate contact with places and people, promotes
health, and is one of the most sustainable forms of recreation.
Robert and Martha Manning invite readers to explore the pleasures
of long-distance walking in their inspiring new book, Walking
Distance.
At the heart of "Walking Distance" are firsthand descriptions of
thirty of the world's great long-distance hikes, spanning six
continents and ranging from inn-to-inn to backpacking trips. Each
entry--from Turkey's Lycian Way to Vermont's Long Trail--features
personal anecdotes, natural and cultural history, and useful tips,
including suggestions for preparing for hikes and for additional
reading. Each trail narrative is richly illustrated with color
photographs and maps.
