Download or read book Summits and Ridge Walks Around the Flathead written by Stormy Good Monod and published by . This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summit & Ridge Walks Around the Flathead (first edition) arose from the idea of providing experienced hikers with more challenging outings in beautiful Northwest Montana while also fostering an appreciation for our wild places; it is a natural extension to Day Hikes Around the Flathead, which has been in print since 1999. The outings described in this book are not technical ascents of peaks but are "mild scrambles" or "peak bags" that can be "done in a day" and are found on or adjacent to existing hiking trails. In some cases, it will mean loose rock, cliffs and/or rock outcroppings will exist, and route finding will be necessary. Area covered includes the Galton Range, the Whitefish Range, Glacier National Park, Marias Pass area, the Great Bear Wilderness, the Swan Crest, the Mission Mountains and the Salish Range, all which form the collective mountainous region around the greater Flathead Valley in northwest Montana. Dr. Lex Blood and Judith Pressmar complement the book by providing an educational geological background explaining the underlying structure and landscape of present day northwest Montana.

Download or read book Thousand Miler written by Melanie Radzicki McManus and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In thirty-six thrilling days, Melanie Radzicki McManus hiked 1,100 miles around Wisconsin, landing her in the elite group of Ice Age Trail thru-hikers known as the Thousand-Milers. In prose that’s alternately harrowing and humorous, Thousand-Miler takes you with her through Wisconsin’s forests, prairies, wetlands, and farms, past the geologic wonders carved by long-ago glaciers, and into the neighborhood bars and gathering places of far-flung small towns. Follow along as she worries about wildlife encounters, wonders if her injured feet will ever recover, and searches for an elusive fellow hiker known as Papa Bear. Woven throughout her account are details of the history of the still-developing Ice Age Trail—one of just eleven National Scenic Trails—and helpful insight and strategies for undertaking a successful thru-hike. In addition to chronicling McManus’s hike, Thousand-Miler also includes the little-told story of the Ice Age Trail’s first-ever thru-hiker Jim Staudacher, an account of the record-breaking thru-run of ultrarunner Jason Dorgan, the experiences of a young combat veteran who embarked on her thru-hike as a way to ease back into civilian life, and other fascinating tales from the trail. Their collective experiences shed light on the motivations of thru-hikers and the different ways hikers accomplish this impressive feat, providing an entertaining and informative read for outdoors enthusiasts of all levels.
