Fifty Places to Hike Before You Die: Outdoor Experts Share the World's Greatest Destinations

I already knew where I plan to go before I got the book. However, the book changed the plans. We have been to Kalalau Trail in Kauai and enjoyed it with the kids. There are endless places to go-incredible.

Very good photography, so the readers interest is captured right away. Good quick description of each of the hikes and short bio on each writer. Makes a good, compact reference book, and nice gift to someone who is into hiking / trekking.

Definitely a hikers book! Even if I don't intend on going to some of these places, the descriptions are wonderful.

I checked out this book and "Fifty Places to Bike before you Die" from our local library before deciding to order them. Both my husband and I thought we should own them. I like that the books include places from around the world. It's doubtful we will ever do all 50, but should we ever be in one of the countries listed, we've already got an alternative to check out besides the usual tourist stops. There was one hike listed that we have already done several times and we agreed with the author's assessment. To me, that's a good sign. It's also just fun to read so see what's out there. In response to some reviews that these books are blatant promotions, I disagree. I would rather hear from the experts. On some of these adventures we may want a guide, but on others, in places we know fairly well, the book has given enough information to go on our own with maybe a little more research. To me it would be impossible for the author to scour the globe in search of 50 places worth visiting. Talking to the experts seems to be a much more logical way of compiling the information.

Who wouldn’t want to hike these places before they die??? Can’t wait to go hiking and check out many of these spots. I love that not all these spots are the typical places everyone has heard of.

This book was a gift for an avid hiker, and they loved it! They have earmarked several places that they want to explore next based on the descriptions in the book...

Gave this as a gift to a co-worker who is an avid hiker and he liked it. I did not get a chance to read it myself, but after flipping through the pages, and I could tell it would be a good read and very interesting. Hopefully my co-worker is able to tackle some of these must-try hiking trails!

I would recommend this book for anyone looking for ideas for hiking trips. This book has come in very handy as my husband and I are planning an upcoming hiking and camping trip, and this book has been instrumental in planning what we are going to do for the duration of the trip.

Haven't quite finished the whole book yet, because it's such a well-informed good read, that I'm taking my time, enjoying every minute of it. The book is reader-friendly, and goes into just the right amount of detail, without making descriptions boring. Accompanying photographs are of the highest quality, and they make the reader really want to be there. I hope to attempt most of the walks, if not all, thanks to the detailed descriptions and quality photos. I'll take the book title as an instruction, not just a title!

This book was bought as a present, I didn't get a chance to read it myself, but I'm pretty sure the receiver was happy with it :)

the product reached with no harm, exactly what i wanted and the delivery didn't take long at all!

Bought as present for fellow hikers and set us off on a trial . Very informative and usefull book .

Beautiful book with amazing photos. Lots of ideas for future trips and places to dream of if funds won't permit!
