100 Trails, 5000 Ideas by Joe Yogerst

Joe Yogerst is one of my favorite guests! I just love to talk to a happy writer—and how could you not be happy with the job he’s got writing for National Geographic. The latest in his great books with travel ideas for all of us is 100 Trails, 5000 Ideas. It is an absolute joy to spend hours reading this book. Joe has had lots of fun working on all the great ideas to help us imagine what the trails are like and then INSPIRE US TO GET UP AND GO!

Thanks, Joe! Finally I am interested in actually going to Hawaii.

A perfect gift for anyone you know—it will be much appreciated and treasured.

Inspiring and comprehensive, this book offers something for everyone, from beginners looking for an easy day-hike (the tow path along the C&O Canal in Maryland) to advanced trekkers seeking multi-week excursions (the famed multi-state Continental Divide Trail). You’ll also discover:
