What We Think: Because I'm almost as passionate about backpacking as I am about skating, I've long considered writing a how-to book on the subject. Now I don't have to, because this Woman's Guide includes everything I would want to tell a female friend, plus tips I've never thought of, to introduce her to the joys of exploring treks over mountains and through forests. Adrienne shares not only her own sage advice about safe hiking and preserving the environment, she also includes the thoughts and experiences of many other women of all ages. |
