Hiking Is Fundamental

Part love letter, part invitation, Hiking is Fundamental is an informative celebration of hiking. Barbara Ann Kipfer covers all the basic elements of getting into hiking, from preparation to pacing, in simple, classic, fun, illustrated list-style chapters. This isn’t a technical manual—it’s an inviting overview that will demystify the whole hiking experience. For anyone intimidated to hit the trail, introductory chapters make the case for the benefits and fun to be had. Hiking is not exclusive to the wealthy, the athletic, or the experienced. It’s fun! And it’s for everyone.
