So many ways to get into the swing of spring and outdoor enjoyment
The Statistics may not bear it out but there is a feeling in the air all over this nation that it is finally springtime and we’ve got to get out into the fresh air, even the wilderness when possible. A local hike in your city can be an amazing adventure. Even a massive megalopolis like Los Angeles has areas where hiking is healthy, beautiful and even educational.
But if you are ready to go further afield and want to plan a bigger trip to places that have more ambitious, advances and wild, scenic views, “100 Hikes of a Lifetime“: The World’s Ultimate Scenic Trails is definitely for you.
Of course it’s always fascinating to learn about survival and self-sufficiency that can save you in a pinch or just bestow pride and happiness at the thought of having those abilities. Navigating in all cases, but especially in the wilderness or an outdoor area you are unfamiliar with is a fantastic thing to know that can give you confidence and pleasure. Feeling like Jason Bourne (without the amnesia or the assassinations) is a pretty cool thing compared to just being a couch potato. There’s a primal enjoyment in learning how to track animals, find fresh water, even get better and predicting changes in weather patterns. If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, or like something you really need to learn, “The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs” might be your new favorite book.
One amazing thing about the USA is the vast expanse of uninhabited areas and the possibility of camping in virtually every one of our glorious fifty sates. If you need a reference that will help you find a great campground in any state, or if you are planning an RV excursion across the country, “Where Should We Camp Next?” is likely a perfect late night companion for you until the day you are ready to hit the road!
In a way similar to “100 Hikes of a Lifetime” and “Where Should We Camp Next?”, even like the two combined into one volume (albeit with varied content) is another great introduction to our nations wilderness get-aways; “100 Parks, 5,000 Ideas” is like a visual, mental and veritable feast for anyone looking forward to a wild outdoor summer in the USA, particularly after being cooped up for so long. Please check out the author and publisher descriptions below and happy outdoor summer 2021!
