Reviews for Walks of a Lifetime: Extraordinary Hikes from Around the World
All of us have talked about walking the world's great trails; in this book, the Mannings show us how to 'walk the talk.' -Gregory Miller, President, American Hiking Society There can never be too many trails to walk-or, at least, to dream about walking. The Mannings are reliable guides to paths worth treading! -Bill McKibben, Wandering Home The Mannings have walked dozens of long-distance trails; join them as they wander and wonder through the great cultural landscapes of the world. -Ron Tipton, Executive Director, Appalachian Trail Conservancy Walks of a Lifetime is a beautiful and inspiring guide to many of the world's great long-distance and multi-day hikes. We owe the Mannings a debt of gratitude. -Pam Underhill, Superintendent (retired), Appalachian National Scenic Trail Walks of a Lifetime should inspire everyone to explore long-distance trails-including several in and around our great cities-and become advocates for conservation in the process. -John Judge, President, Appalachian Mountain Club In Walks of a Lifetime, the Mannings explain why walking the great landscapes of the world is the most sustainable form of recreation. -Aaron Mair, President, Sierra Club
