Reviews
Inveterate hiker and backpacker Siber curated this gorgeous picture book of 100 scenic trails...The hikes range from easy and moderate to strenuous and expert...The work also includes an upbeat foreword by adventurer Andrew Skurka, breathtakingly beautiful color photographs of National Geographic quality, information about hiking gear, and a brief pitch for hiking conservation. -Library Journal Visiting beautiful mountains around the world and checking bucket list adventures off of my list can leave me chasing a bit of an adventure high, so I can understand why readers eagerly seek a 'next trip' after just completing one. With 100 Hikes of a Lifetime, Kate Siber and Andrew Skurka have put together a list of 100 answers for those of us in search of What's next? ... I have yet to find a more comprehensive answer to my question of what's next? -Trail to Peak If you're like me, you have a mental list of the places your hiking boots need to go, and soon. This book? It helped me double the list...Books like this don't come along every day...The world is a vast and achingly beautiful place. Go see it, using this book for inspiration. If you can't go, then see it anyway, from the comfort of your favorite reading chair. This book makes it possible. -Hiking for Her Part of the fun of the book is seeing which hikes you've completed that made the list...The other fun comes in daydreaming about which trips you'd like to do. -Pam LeBlanc Adventures
