The webinar is based on Bob and Martha’s books, Walking Distance: Extraordinary Hikes for Ordinary People and Walks of a Lifetime: Extraordinary Hikes from Around the World. These books offer first-hand descriptions of 60 long-distance and multi-day hikes they’ve walked and present a series of short essays on multiple dimensions of walking. They’ll conclude their presentation with some slides from their walks on a number of US national trails.
