Detailed information about America’s Great Hiking Trails

The book is split into featured trails and each one has its own section describing the landscape and comes complete with its own map and photo gallery. The trails are described in great detail and especially highlight the most scenic areas along with suggestions for a much shorter weekend or day-long hike. The photographs have been taken by Bart Smith who is the first person to hike all the way along each one of the eleven National Scenic Trails. This book is great for anyone who has an interest in the outdoors, conservation, hiking and camping.

The book has earned three awards: The 2014 Gold Winner for the INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards for Adventure and Recreation; the Gold Award for The Society of American Travel Writers Eastern Chapter; the 2015 Lowell Thomas Travel Award for the Best Travel Book given by the Society of American Travel Writer’s Foundation.
