{"product_id":"walking-distance-extraordinary-hikes-for-ordinary-people","title":"Walking Distance: Extraordinary Hikes for Ordinary People","description":"“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\n\nWalking 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.\n\nAt 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.\n\nThe Walks\nAlta Via 1 (Italy)\nC\u0026amp;O Canal (Maryland, U.S.)\nCamino de Santiago (Spain)\nCape Winelands Walk (South Africa)\nChilkoot Trail (Alaska, U.S. and B.C., Canada)\nCinque Terre (Italy)\nCoast to Coast Trail (England)\nColorado Trail (Colorado, U.S.)\nCotswold Way (England)\nGreat Ocean Walk (Australia)\nInca Trail (Peru)\nJohn Muir Trail (California, U.S.)\nKaibab Trail (Arizona, U.S.)\nKalalua Trail (Hawaii, U.S.)\nKing Ludwig’s Way (Germany)\nKungsleden (Sweden)\nLong Trail (Vermont, U.S.)\nLost Coast Trail (California, U.S.)\nLycian Way (Turkey)\nMilford Track (New Zealand)\nOcala Trail (Florida, U.S.)\nOverland Track (Australia)\nParia River Canyon (Utah and Arizona, U.S.)\nSouth Downs Way (England)\nSuperior Hiking Trail (Minnesota, U.S.)\nTahoe Rim Trail (California and Nevada, U.S.)\nTour du Mont Blanc (France, Italy, Switzerland)\nWalker’s Haute Route (France, Switzerland)\nWest Coast Trail (B.C., Canada)\nWest Highland Way (Scotland)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0870716832\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0870716832.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Manning, Robert E.|Manning, Martha S.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
