Böcker av Brooke Arnold

Hailing from the flat terrains of sunny Florida, the author found herself drawn to the majestic mountains of East Tennessee. Swapping her flip-flops for hiking boots, she embarked on a new adventure that took her from sea level to soaring heights. With no previous hiking experience, she navigated this steep learning curve, stumbling, laughing, and discovering the art of hiking one misstep at a time. Her journey, filled with comedic pitfalls and triumphant moments, is what inspired this guide. Written with a generous sprinkle of humor, this book is a testament to all newbie hikers that it's okay to trip over roots, mistake a tree stump for a black bear, or pack a sandwich that ends up being lunch for a raccoon. In her witty and engaging style, the author reminds us that hiking isn't just about reaching the peak, but also about embracing the unexpected detours, the belly laughs, and the unforgettable memories created along the way. This book is not only your guide to the world of hiking but also an invitation to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. This book is for the rookies, the comedians, the adventurers - your hilarious hiking mishaps are a reminder that every trail has a tale, and every hiker has a story worth sharing. Happy Trails covers everything from why we struggle uphill for fun; building hiking endurance; the different types of trails; how to find a hike; navigation; safety; etiquette; and even what to do when nature calls. Get ready to laugh and learn.
