Publisher's Synopsis
In this guide, Bob and Martha Manning invite readers to join the walking community. Their book explains why, how, and where to walk, with an emphasis on multi-day, long-distance trails - walking vacations of a few days to a few weeks. The heart of the book is a series of first-hand descriptions of 40 of the world's great multi-day walks, spanning six continents, most U.S. states and Washington, DC, and ranging from inn-to-inn walks to backpacking treks. Many of these walks are among the world's most iconic. Trail descriptions are richly illustrated with colour photographs and maps.
