Fifty Places to Hike Before You Die is the latest offering in the bestselling Fifty Places series. Chris Santella, along with top expedition leaders, explores the world’s greatest walking adventures.

Others, such as Japan’s Nakesando Trail, move leisurely from village to village, allowing walkers to immerse themselves in the local culture. Whether it’s climbing the Rwandan mountains to view mountain gorillas or strolling through bistros along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, there’s a memorable hike at everyone’s level within these 50 chapters. With commentaries from expert trekkers and insider tips that lead the reader off the beaten path, Santella has again captured the special characteristics that make these must-visit destinations.

While travelers of humble means will only be able to dream of visiting many of these exotic locales, the book serves as a moving inspiration for at least embarking on a handful of these excursions. The photography is jaw-droppingly beautiful and as with other books in the series, the author's collaboration with experts in the field is a refreshing contrast to "traditional" hiking guides. The book is not meant as a tactical "how to", but as a motivational resource to get your dreams in motion. So if you want a kick in the pants to make that special trip seem more real, "Fifty Places to Hike..." is for you!
By Mr. Henry
The book title implies more than it delivers.
It is quite superficial and lacks substance.
Most hikers need more details on the hikes, which this book does not offer.
A much better book is "Classic Treks" by Bill Birkett.
Classic Treks: The 30 Most Spectacular Hikes in the WorldThis book offers a detailed route for each trek, including time estimates and proposed itineraries.
