Classic Hikes of North America: 25 Breathtaking Treks in the United States and Canada

Beautiful book handy for trekking amateurs. Great gift 🎁

We had been working our way through Peter Potterfield classic hikes of the world, when we found he had published this one as well. We are super excited to try more hikes closer to home! This book has the same excellent layout: gorgeous color pictures, and overview of location, then specifics about the trail with a map, as well as hazards and season and travel information. You will probably need a more detailed trail map, but otherwise this book has everything you need to plan an unforgettable trip!

Many great pictures. Good description and rating of difficulty of trails, both physical and mental (wildlife, bad weather, isolation, etc.) Good personal notes of "do's and don't's" on each trail which would help a hiker plan and avoid mistakes. I would recommend.

Peter Potterfield's book is a true gem for backpackers. The book is beautifully illustrated. Each hike contains a description of the adventure and beauty that you will encounter, and comes complete with the following helpful subtopics: Logistics and Strategy, Hazards, Season, Route, and Information. This book provides a great start to planning your next trek in the Canada/USA outdoors.

This is more than a beautiful coffee-table book, although it looks nice and impressive on any table. Gorgeous photos and wonderful descriptives of the 25 hikes listed. Makes even non-trekkers want to get out and take a hike. A good book for a good price. Now needs a Classic Hikes of North America, Second Edition.

Purchased for Christmas gift for daughter and son in law. They love to hike and love the book! They are currently serving in Okinawa and the book arrived with no delay or damage. They are mapping out where they want to hike when they return from overseas.

I thought that this book was about day hikes but its about overnight backpacking, but still an amazing book to read about if planning on trips like these

The book arrived as promised. It is a fun read & I hope to do a hike with my son & grandson. Your service is always good. Thank you
