A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bryson, Bill

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America-majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you're going to take a hike, it's probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you'll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way-and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).Author: Bill BrysonPublisher: VintagePublished: 12/26/2006Pages: 416Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.45lbsSize: 6.70h x 4.10w x 1.20dISBN: 9780307279460Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 7.6Point Value: 16Interest Level: Upper GradeQuiz #/Name: 35586 / Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian TrailAbout the AuthorBill Bryson's bestselling books include A Walk in the Woods, Neither Here Nor There, In a Sunburned Country, Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words, and A Short History of Nearly Everything, the latter of which earned him the 2004 Aventis Prize.
