Decades of his trail experience lends to specifics in Jack Bennett's coverages of challenging diverse hikes in some 15 states, making this a 'must' for any serious sports or travel library!. Buckeye Trail Hiker said Great book about hiking trails. Very interesting book - well written. I'm unsure that I would tackle some of these trails but it was fun reading about them regardless.. "Wonderful for hikers" according to KOPROWSKI. Saying this is required to those of us willing to even look at this is most provocative.Take another path. Enter into this in a collaborative manner, not in a demanding "required" manner.
