Lonely Planet Epic Hikes of the Americas

Epic Hikes of the Americas is an excellent guidebook for any outdoor enthusiast looking for a new adventure. The book is filled with detailed information on some of the most spectacular hiking trails across North and South America, from the famous Inca Trail in Peru to lesser-known gems like the W Circuit in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park. Each hike is described in detail, including information on trail length, difficulty level, and best time to go. The author also includes practical tips, such as what to pack and how to obtain necessary permits. The book is beautifully illustrated with breathtaking photographs, making it a joy to flip through even if you're not planning a hike. What I liked most about the book is the diversity of hikes, it covers hikes for different levels of experience, and different regions of the Americas, whether you are looking for a challenging multi-day trek or a peaceful day hike, this book has it all. Overall, Epic Hikes of the Americas is a must-have guidebook for anyone planning a hiking trip in the Americas. It's well-researched, well-written and will inspire you to lace up your hiking boots and hit the trails!

We are loving this book! The pics, descriptions, similar hikes suggested are also helpful and offer more options and adventure possibilities.

It is beautifully made with very nice photos. Full of well-described long, short and in-between hikes.

Bought this book for a friend who enjoys hiking and wants to try different US State locations (and maybe Countries later). Def recommend as the book itself is presented nicely with graphics, information, and texture.

Perfect for the hiking, nature lovers in your life.

Beautifully illustrated, nicely narrated travel book.

This is a wonderful book for a National Park lover!!

Beautiful book with stunning pictures and great suggestions— but I cannot get over the layout! At first it seems like it goes in alphabetical order by state per the contents, and then it jumps around and puts states in random places? It’s a nice read if you are leisurely looking to understand some fun “types” of hikes and view visually aesthetic pictures (though again, no idea sometimes which pictures line up to which trails). Usability for strategic planning purposes is a bit lacking
