Outside Adventure Travel: Trekking (Book) by David Noland

Follow in the footsteps of early explorers on 20 treks spanning 6 continents. They include: the mysterious Ruwenzori mountains in deepest Africa; 5 classic Himalayan tours, including the Annapurna Circuit and seldom-visited Snow Lake; an adventure to the Tekes River Valley in central Asia (rarely seen since the Soviets sealed off the region in the '20s); sunset from the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro; a hut-to-hut trek in Italy's storied Dolomites; and a llama trek through the surreal redrock desert canyons of southern Utah's Escalante. Not enough info to be a guide book, but just the right amount of info and beautiful color photos to be an inspiration for dreamers and doers. 224 pages.
