Wanderlust: A Hiker's Companion
Product ID: 44059445
Explore the world one step at a time. Wanderlust presents legendary walking routes with inviting maps, practical tips, and inspiring landscape photographs. The exciting Canyon Trail in Zion-National Park, the spectacular El Caminito del Rey in Spain, the pilgrim trail on the holy Kumano Kodo in Japan or a mythical hiking path in the land of the giants in Norway - Wanderlust explores legendary hiking trails in enchanting corners of the world and over a variety of terrain: thin ice and desert sands; coastal tracks and forest pathways. Spectacular photography illustrates journeys to sharp summits, astonishing vistas, and phenomenal locales. With maps featuring noteworthy locations alongside background information and practical tips by Cam Honan, an expert who has hiked many of the trails himself, Wanderlust will suit both intrepid beginners and seasoned trekkers. From modern-day transcendentalists or those who simply desire a casual break from concrete scenery, Wanderlust allows readers to live vicariously through vivid portraits or use the trips as impetus for their own hiking journey. Following faded footsteps of migrating animals or paths of ancient trade routes, the trails featured in Wanderlust offer both outdoor exploration and enjoyment. Review: Fantastic Book for the Hiking Enthusiast - My sons love this book, they are hikers and explorers and this book is very interesting to them! The interior is beautifully photographed and well written. Great as a coffee table book too! Review: Inspiring and beautiful book! - My son loved it, and it went well with the hiking theme for his Christmas gifts. Filled with lots of nice pictures of places to hike. He spent a long time looking and reading on Christmas morning. It’s a nice coffee table style book that he’ll keep picking up to enjoy throughout the Years.

Great picture book that will make you want to go hiking Or at the very least, appreciate nature! Pictures are accompanied by beautiful write-ups; they transport you to the place as if you are physically there.

Beautiful and, I hope, Extremely Informative!
This was a gift and I've given it 5 stars because I loved looking through it myself and hope my hiking friends will enjoy it as well. Lovely presentations covering a wide variety of options - very global and interesting.

Who knows what's next
Love this book, bought originally as a "coffey table" book, it has inspired me not only to look at some of the options this book describes but also to seek out my own adventures, its ignited something in me and your next adventure just requires you to take the lead and....go for it.
