This handsome leather-bound hiking book brings together 100 of the world’s great scenic trails, with National Geographic photography, expert guidance, and practical travel detail throughout.

The routes range from short day hikes to serious multi-week treks, so it works as both an inspiration book and a useful reference for planning future trips.

Examples include California’s Sierra High Route, Lake Agnes Teahouse in Alberta, Norway’s Mount Skåla, Mount Meru in Tanzania, Egypt’s Sinai Trail, Bhutan’s Snowman Trek, and Australia’s Bibbulmun Track.

The scope is global, crossing continents, climates, and terrain, from Costa Rican jungle routes to the ice fields of Alaska’s Kenai Fjords National Park.

It also includes more unusual walking experiences, such as a wine route through Switzerland and moose spotting on Wyoming’s Teton Crest Trail.

The book includes wisdom from expert hikers including Andrew Skurka, along with need-to-know travel information and wildlife-spotting tips.

This edition is bound by Graphic Image, the American leather goods company founded by Bennett Glazer in 1977, with more than 45 years of bookbinding and leather manufacturing behind it.

The green bonded leather cover gives the book a more finished, gift-ready quality than a standard hiking guide, making it as suitable for display as it is for browsing.

Graphic Image’s wider work is built around leather-bound editions, diaries, albums, and desk objects, so the binding is a meaningful part of the object rather than an afterthought.

400 pages.
