Long-distance hiker Townsend, inspired by the writings of Edward Abbey and Colin Fletcher, set out to explore the desert landscape that inspired them. The rough, still-evolving Arizona Trail he hiked runs 800 miles from desert floor, through grasslands and mountain forests, from the Mexican border to Utah. Along this distinctly American path, Townsend's uniquely British sensibility ensures an entertaining read. This is an account of Townsend's adventure and a chance to experience a truly unique corner of the world. 256 pages.
