Though this book was written with women in mind (there is a section on hiking while pregnant, for example), men will enjoy the ins and outs of proper equipment and how to use it, difficulty level of various mountains, the kinds of terrain a child may or may not be able to handle, and the health and spiritual benefits of walking in the mountains. Addressing both the unrepentant couch potato as well as the absurdly fit, the author prescribes various exercise regimes according to the fitness level of the individual.

Library Journal
The majority of the popular hiking books are written by men for men. Although Rogovin Frankel isn't the first woman to write a hiking book, she is one fo the few to write from a woman's point of view. Frankel...demonstrates a strong passion for hiking, an excitement that is conveyed in her writing. Perhaps it is this diverse, worldwide hiking experience that also helps make her book stand out from the crowd.
