From the author of Off The Map comes the final anthology of outdoor escapades set in the dustiest, wettest, windiest and most magical places in America.Falling Off The Map draws you into a world of danger and wild beauty, weaving tales of majesty and misfortune, from sea level along the Lost Coast of California to the dizzying heights of Rainier's 14,441 feet. Follow the author as he dodges hailstorms in the Colorado Rockies, bushwhacks through the poison oak-infested hills of Big Sur, tracks grizzlies in the Beartooth-Absaroka Wilderness and sleds down the mighty volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest.
Featuring guest appearances by aggressive marmots, rebellious cows and the world's hungriest mosquitoes, this book highlights the plights, predicaments and precarious pleasures that can be found past the outposts of Western civilization.
