Off and Walking

Ruth Rudner's "Off and Walking" is a departure from the traditional guidebook. Although there is more than enough information provided to plan and execute a successful walking trip (albeit with 70's technology), the walks covered represent only a small fraction of any given National park. Seven walks are presented, one each in the Grand Tetons, the Smokys, Isle Royal, Olympic, Uncompahgre, White Mountain, and Yosemite. Where this book differs is that each walk is more personal diary than guidebook. With each walk, we share Ms. Rudner's thoughts and feelings as she and her friends walk the trails.
