America's Great Hiking Trails: Appalachian, Pacific… por Karen Berger
Gorgeous coffee table book -- don't try to take it hiking with you.
The book discussed what hiking and backpacking is and its essentials, its do's and dont's, the pro's and cons and its wonderful reasons why people get out of their comfort zone and do backpacking. Of course before setting out one should know its basics which was elaborated on this book, along with your gears needed, what to carry, foods needed and camping. All in all this book is so impressive as it got everything covered for your backpacking and hiking adventure trip.
My wife and I hiked the Colorado portion of the Continental Divide trail in 1981, and things haven't changed much since then. Maps are outdated, trails on the map don't exist on the ground, cows share many of your water supplies, and you will soon become excellent with map and compass. But, that said, it is always a joy to read about someone's experience covering ground you know well.
Karen Berger goes to a lot of trouble to fill you in on the details of the politics of land and wildlife management in the West. And she does a good job of covering the important elements of the hike, so you have a good sense of what the walking was like.… (más)

This book was a joy to read cover to cover. It may be because I have a passion for backpacking, but the book also gives a new perspective on America, wild places and how much stamina early settlers had.
