Backcountry Excursions: Venturing into the Wild Regions of the Northeast

Meer over het boek

Backcountry Excursions is a collection of six short hiking narratives set in the various wildlands of the Northeast, from New York's Adirondacks and Vermont 's Green Mountains, to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Maine Woods. Whether hiking with companions or alone, in well-known traces or off the beaten path, the author ruminates about humankind's rather complex and often contradictory relationship with the natural world.
