Download or read book Hinterlands 2020 written by Jerrell Goodpaster and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red River Gorge has become Kentucky's most popular hiking and climbing area, and for good reasons. Its miles of rugged cliff lines and countless arches, all set against the backdrop of Daniel Boone National Forest, are difficult for outdoor lovers to ignore. Despite the area's countless attractions and popularity, however, visitors seeking information and accurate directions to many of the area's finest attractions, such as Indian Staircase, are likely to come up empty-handed, with incorrect information, or genuinely perplexed about things. The Forest Service, state park, and others one might expect to promote some of Kentucky's finest attractions are generally ignorant of, elusive about, or intentionally misleading about many of them. Consequently, visitors seeking in-depth information about the area must resort to word of mouth or spend hours surfing the internet for "the scoop" on destinations such as Eagle Point Buttress, Hopewell Arch, Copperas Falls, and countless others. Or they can simply purchase Hinterlands. For fifteen years, Hinterlands has provided hikers information about user-created trails in the Red River Gorge region, and many of these trails lead to jaw-dropping attractions. While primarily designed and intended as a simple hiking supplement, it has become the de facto guide to both well-known and obscure features in the area. Visitors looking for new trails, new attractions, arches, private camping spots, and other "insider" information about the Red River Gorge should begin with Hinterlands. The 2020 edition features new trails, new aerial photos, and more

Download or read book Walking the Land written by Shay Rabineau and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israel has one of the most extensive and highly developed hiking trail systems of any country in the world. Millions of hikers use the trails every year during holiday breaks, on mandatory school trips, and for recreational hikes. Walking the Land offers the first scholarly exploration of this unique trail system. Featuring more than ten thousand kilometers of trails, marked with hundreds of thousands of colored blazes, the trail system crisscrosses Israeli-controlled territory, from the country's farthest borders to its densest metropolitan areas. The thousand-kilometer Israel National Trail crosses the country from north to south. Hiking, trails, and the ubiquitous three-striped trail blazes appear everywhere in Israeli popular culture; they are the subjects of news articles, radio programs, television shows, best-selling novels, government debates, and even national security speeches. Yet the trail system is almost completely unknown to the millions of foreign tourists who visit every year and has been largely unstudied by scholars of Israel. Walking the Land explores the many ways that Israel's hiking trails are significant to its history, national identity, and conservation efforts.
