For anyone who’s happiest with a trail under their feet. Chris Santella works with top expedition leaders to share the world’s greatest walking adventures. Some are demanding, multiweek high-altitude treks, like Bhutan’s Lunana Snowman Trek and Tibet’s Kangshung Valley. Others are gentle village-to-village walks, like Japan’s Nakasendo Trail, where the culture is half the experience. There’s a hike for every level, from seeing mountain gorillas in Rwanda to strolling the Amalfi Coast between bistros. The featured destinations also include Yosemite, Glacier National Park, Patagonia, Kilimanjaro, and New Zealand’s Milford Track. Expert trekkers add their own stories and insider tips, often pointing readers off the beaten path. It’s a great gift for an avid hiker, a weekend trail walker, or anyone planning the trip of a lifetime.
