Product Description
This book will help readers realise their dreams of hiking among the world's highest peaks and most scenic valleys, discovering wilderness far from the clamour of civilisation, encountering rare birds and animals, glorying in sunsets over glacier-clad ranges, and feeling the joy and achievement of hiking in some of the world's most spectacular places. Peter Potterfield has selected the great treks of the world from personal experience. Features include details on conditions, levels of difficulty, best seasons, approach strategies, hazards and maps. Hikes include: from Wonder Lake to McGonagall Pass in Alaska; Tour de la Vanoise in the French Alps; Kungsleden in Swedish Lapland; K2 Base Camp; the Grand Canyon from rim to rim; Mount Kilimanjaro; Cerro Fitz Roy in Argentina; the John Muir Trail in California and Shackleton's South Georgia Crossing.
