Many a ridgetop hike follows an artificial political boundary, true, but the flowers on both sides of the border bloom with the same unregulated splendor. The prominent evangelists of hiking, Henry Thoreau and John Muir, offered a unified vision of nature. The High Ground Books echo that unity with their bicoastal focus on high ground hikes from California to Florida and beyond.  They adopt a theme with literary overtones and take us on a well-guided journey without end. These books, by resisting the tendency to divide outdoorspeople by location, unite us under natural history lore that takes in flora, fauna, geology -- and humanity. Millions of people have hiked the paths I have walked, but the spirit of the trails eludes them because they hurry. Look closely at the trees and flowers and stones of these places. My wish for you is that you share in this experience, learning perhaps a new way to approach the outdoors, realizing that the most amazing things can be found just a footstep off the path you're on.
