This was the perfect read for me during a global pandemic. The photos made me want to go on all the hikes! I'm so grateful that the great outdoors is still there.

Won this earlier this year. Perfect lockdown read, practically salivating at the incredible scenery and hiking trail details. Let me gooo.

What kind of rock formation is a hoodoo? How many calories does it take to hike the Pacific Crest Trail? What percentage of the world’s geysers call Yellowstone National Park their home? If you love long-distance ambling and breathtaking vistas as much as this trivia, check out Wanderlust USA. Refresh yourself from one of America’s most remote drinking fountains on the floor of the Grand Canyon, pop onto just one of Hawaii’s 137 islands, and wander, hike and scramble your way across the country as the pages fly.

Visually stunning and richly packed with pertinent information and interesting context on hikes in each U.S. region, this is a must-read for serious hikers. Excellent tips on considerations in various climates and for wildlife encounters, as well as stops (including local food joints) along the way. Beautifully assembled based on thousands of miles the author has trekked on foot - his vast experience shows.

Would have loved more details for each route, but it's still inspiring and interesting.
