473 "100 Hikes of a Lifetime - U.S.A."

Bob chats with Stephanie Pearson, the author of National Geographic's "100 Hikes of a Lifetime - U.S.A. The Country's Ultimate Scenic Trails". The book, which features trails in every state and many U.S. territories is intended not as much as a detailed guidebook, but as Pearson explains, to be more "aspirational". It features details about each hike, including length, difficulty, etc, along with stunning photography that shows what makes each trail one of the "ultimate scenic trails" in the country and why some trails have significant cultural and historic significance. In this fun and lively dicusssion, Pearson explains the methodology she used to pick each trail and which trails unexpectedly made it into the book. The book is available from Disney Books: https://tinyurl.com/rx3jh8fe , Barnes and Noble, Amazon, etc. Please consider becoming a patron of this podcast!
