This title features 20 treks in wild terrain that is challenging, awesome in scope and has very little infrastructure. The trek lengths start at close to 100km (60 miles) and demand a minimum of five days to complete, so for all of them meticulous planning and expert guidance is often necessary. These adventurous hikes traverse every continent, from the russet hues of Alaska's autumn forests, along the spine of the Rockies from Canada to Mexico, through South America's remote, uninhabited mountains and valleys, to the craggy heights of Europe's Alpine region, across sacred Himalayan peaks and over the jagged escarpments of Africa and Australia's coastal tropical rainforest. Treks vary from an ancient pilgrim route, a trail on a frozen river, Macchu Picchu's mystical ruins, a yak-supported trek into the heart of the Himalayas and a summit expedition up Africa's snow peak, Kilimanjaro. Route maps and fact panels are included.

Great coffee table book for any trekker. Picks out famous treks around the world and using a different author for each location. They highlight local details, tell you about what you need and then walk you through the trip giving enough information to tease you to go and try it out yourself. Great for those interested in trekking and travel.

I bought this as a present for a walker friend of mine. It has lovely presentation with large inspirational photo's. Unfortunatley, I don't have the money to fly to all the exotic places, so most of the walks will have to remain in my dreams!

Used this book to pick a backpacking trip this summer. Pictures are gorgeous, trail descriptions are accurate and the hike segments are surprisingly realistic. Ended up hiking the Sawtooth Traverse as described and used the section throughout the hike.
Thoroughly enjoyed the other segments and hope to go on several other trips as described over the next few years.
