From trekking in Nepal, to cycling the french wine country

Now in an updated and expanded fourth edition, The Big Book Of Adventure Travel by author and world traveler, James C. Simmons is an impressive compendium of more than four hundred organized adventure trips at home and abroad. From trekking in Nepal, to cycling the french wine country, to exploring the wreck of the Titanic, to white-water rafting on Africa's Zambezi River, to sea-kayaking among the orcas off British Columbia, to windjamming along the Maine coast, these are trip destinations and thrill-of-a-lifetime activities accessible to anyone. There are vacation ideas suitable for the entire family, honeymoon ideas far superior to a mundane trip to Niagra Falls, and a wealth of notions for the solo adventurer. Packed from cover to cover with the trip descriptions, details, reviews, resources, and operator profiles, The Big Book Of Adventure Travel is ideal for the novice and offers a wealth of indispensable information for even the experienced traveler.
