| "Ramble On" (a history of hiking) is now available! |
I’m excited to announce the release of my new book on the
history of hiking! Ramble On: How Hiking Became One of the Most Popular Outdoor Activities in the World is the first broad historical overview of hiking in one volume. The book chronicles the rich history of hiking; its roots in alpinism and mountaineering, the societal trends that fostered its growth, some of the early hikers from the 18th and 19th centuries, the first trails built specifically for recreational hiking, the formation of the first hiking clubs, as well as the evolution of hiking gear and apparel. The book also includes anecdotal stories of trail development in some of our oldest and most iconic national parks, including Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. You can order your copy from Amazon by clicking here. You can also read a review about the 1st edition of the book by the Appalachian Mountain Club (on page 6).
