.Adventuring in the Alps by: William E. Reifsnyder, Marylou Reifsnyder March 16, 1999 This compilation of the best hiking trails in the Alps will give readers plenty of ideas for planning an unforgettable vacation filled with scenic beauty. All aspects of the trip are covered including accommodations, what to bring along, equipment and locale information. A vast list of tourist resources is also included. Although targeted towards Americans, this book is handy for any nationality. The reason I deducted a star is due to the fact that some is the information is outdated. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to enjoy the wondrous beauty of the Alps. >>See More Reviews & Details on Adventuring in the Alps |

.High Huts of the White Mountains, 2nd: Nature Walks, Natural History, and Day Hikes around the AMC's Mountain Hostels by: William Reifsnyder December 01, 1994 Well, I think it's the only book ever written about the AMC's high huts in the White Mountains. And it is quite informative and useful if you plan to do a lot of hut hikes. The maps and short hike info definitely enhanced my hut trip. But I would rather see something a little less blandly "official" and a little more "behind the scenes." I'd have appreciated more anecdotes about what goes on during those long summer days when the hut crews have spare time. I know that the crews famously play pranks on each other. And surely the advent of "co-ed" crews has resulted in some, eh, hanky panky? If there are such interesting stories, they are not in this book. >>See More Reviews & Details on High Huts of the White Mountains, 2nd: Nature Walks, Natural History, and Day Hikes around the AMC's Mountain Hostels |
