News and Adventure from Glacier National Park

With Christmas only a few days away I have a sneaky feeling that there are quite a few of you who haven’t finished your shopping just yet. Some of you may even be at a lost for ideas! Well, if you’re looking for some last minute stocking stuffer ideas for any hikers in your life, you may want to consider one of these books (or all three!) that were written by yours truly!

What hiker doesn’t want to know more about their favorite outdoor activity?!?!

Ramble On: How Hiking Became One of the Most Popular Outdoor Activities in the World chronicles the rich history of hiking: its roots in alpinism and mountaineering, the societal trends that fostered its growth, some of the early hikers from the 18th and 19th centuries, the first trails built specifically for hiking, the formation of the first hiking clubs, as well as what the early hikers wore, and what some of the key inventions and innovations were that led to our modern array of gear and apparel. Ramble On also examines how hiking was able to germinate and grow as a result of Romanticism and Transcendentalism, the Industrial Revolution, the labor movement, the rise of automobiles, environmentalism, club culture, and even art. The book is available in both paperback and eBook editions.
