Nice article. Have you heard of Te Araroa – a stellar one-of-a-kind world class trail – traversing 3,000 km from north to south in New Zealand? It’s a relatively new trail, officially opened in December, 2011. Definitely a trek with wow factor and one consistently receiving excellent reviews.

The 102 mile Cotswold Way in England is very nice. Google A Long Walk in England, Wall Street Journal, for a short and interesting account.

Avalanche and Gorilla Jim is a new lighthearted memoir filled with adventure, belly laughs and surprises as two guys hike the mountainous Appalachian Trail. The excitement of being rescued in a mountain snow storm, and the shock of murders in Appalachian Trail shelters. The hilarity of trying to get out of an outhouse when the doorknob falls apart and a goofy encounter with a rattlesnake. This book is interesting, makes you laugh out loud and you really get to feel what it is like to hike the length of the US with interesting characters along the way.

Two mountain walks are highly recommended. Mt. FUJI in Japan and Mt. Whitney in California. You can do it.

There’s a a short but interesting walk in New York that goes from the Battery (in lower Manhattan) north to Bear Mountain. It takes exactly two days, and you need to follow a book called Walking the Hudson: Batt to Bear, by Cy Adler. If you’re ever in the area, I recommend it! You cross the George Washington Bridge and walk for 40 along the Hudson River, and even cross the Appalachian Trail. (I can lend you the book, whose theme is keeping riverfront property in public, not private, hands.)

A walk from Maine to Florida on the Appalachian Trail is a great dream I hope to take one day.

A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush is my favorite book of ANY kind, it will have you weeping (in a good way).

I haven’t, but it sounds like a book to bump to the top of my list. Any other suggestions? Reading is so much easier than walking.
