In this collection of 33 essays, the author accompanies readers on walking excursions in search of pleasure, consolation, and insight.These are the narratives of an outdoor enthusiast, a seasonal round that is seeded with wit, passionate environmental protest, and glad praise for the threatened but still gorgeous landscapes of a high mountain valley.
