The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in Americaβ majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If youβre going to take a hike, itβs probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaing guide youβll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the wayβand a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).
