In this guide to what might be called conscious hiking, Michael Robbins provides generous portions of well thought out advice, as he conveys a sense of the joy of walking outdoors in natural settings. Robbins, who prefers hiking on public lands, includes recollections and observations that show that what he knows he learned from experience. His advice is freely given: public trails are the best; be prepared and plan; be observant; dress sensibly; carry essentials; and when in doubt just stay on the trail.
