Book Synopsis Trail Profiles and Maps by : Walt Weber
Download or read book Trail Profiles and Maps written by Walt Weber and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful, colorful book is a second edition of the popular guidebook of the Mountain to Sea Trail through Western North Carolina. In improving and reissuing this book, the sharing of the special history of a unique area of our state is perpetuated. The book includes maps as well as step-by-step map profiles. Mr. Weber, now 81, a long-time resident of Brevard, North Carolina, and member of the Carolina Mountain Club, completely re-walked the trail prior to his revisions using both professional GPS equipment as well as a mechanical measuring wheel. As a result, the new release provides a degree of accuracy few other guides are matching. One reviewer says, you "know exactly how far you will walk and exactly how much effort your hike will require." In other words, it let's you plan your hike for both difficulty and exact distance before you even leave home. The book has more than an updated history on the remarkable development of the trail itself. In addition, the book reviews-often-illustrated with archival photographs-information on the history of some of the areas through which the trail passes. This part of the second edition is newly researched and expanded from that of the first edition. These areas include George Vanderbilt's Buck Spring Lodge, Chase Ambler's Rattlesnake Lodge, Graveyard Fields, the North Carolina Arboretum, Mount Pisgah, Craggy Gardens and Mount Mitchell State Park.

Download or read book On the Trail written by Silas Chamberlin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first history of the American hiking community and its contributions to the nation’s vast network of trails. In the mid-nineteenth century urban walking clubs emerged in the United States. A little more than a century later, tens of millions of Americans were hiking on trails blazed in every region of the country. This groundbreaking book is the first full account of the unique history of the American hiking community and its rich, nationwide culture. Delving into unexplored archives, including those of the Appalachian Mountain Club, Sierra Club, Green Mountain Club, and many others, Silas Chamberlin recounts the activities of hikers who over many decades formed clubs, built trails, and advocated for environmental protection. He also discusses the shifting attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s when ideas about traditional volunteerism shifted and new hikers came to see trail blazing and maintenance as government responsibilities. Chamberlin explores the implications for hiking groups, future club leaders, and the millions of others who find happiness, inspiration, and better health on America’s trails. “With rich historical context Silas Chamberlin inspires new appreciation for trailblazers, while sharing the legacy of hiking and its growing importance today, as people find their way to a new relationship with the natural world.”—Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods and Vitamin N “Chamberlin has demonstrated that what at first looks simple—walking on our own two feet—has a complex history of changing cultural associations, social infrastructure, and national significance.”—James Longhurst, University of Wisconsin – La Crosse
