Alan Via refers to these places as \"the Lostkills\" as they include off-the-beaten-path hikes, mostly bushwhacks to smaller mountain summits. They are largely unexplored by the hiking community. \u003ci\u003eThe Lostkills\u003c\/i\u003e opens with sections about map and compass usage, electronic navigation, and off-trail safety and equipment. Each hike has a rating for difficulty, bushwhack conditions, navigational challenges, views, points of interest, and a topographic map specifically designed for it. There are suggested routes with alternatives as well as the best time of year or season to hike. All hikes are written from a hiker's point of view to better prepare for what to expect, from start to summit. The result is a comprehensive guidebook that allows readers to select the bushwhack or hike that best suits them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53613226033425,"sku":"NGR9798855805581","price":34.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53639812219153,"sku":"NLS9798855805581","price":38.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53663848857873,"sku":"NIN9798855805581","price":29.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798855805581.jpg?v=1780316931","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/lostkills-book-alan-via-9798855805581","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
