Written in short (generally 2-4 page), easy-to-read chapters, Walk-a-Bout include topics such as Wildflowers, Daytrips, Geared-Up, Nature Photography, Hiking with Kids, Random Thoughts and Practical Tips, and Not for the Wimpy, among many others. With several checklists, Ozarkian trivia, and information that specifies which trails are best to hike during which seasons and with which people (i.e. children, spelunkers, handicapped, photographers), you will find Walk-a-Bout to be informative, fun, and practical. Because of the Ozark Mountains' great diversity, Walk-a-Bout was written to teach hikers not only where the beautiful trails are located, but also to offer expert advice on how to make the most of each Ozark nature adventure. Australians might have made the term famous, but it really is time for visitors of the Ozarks to take a Walk-a-Bout of their own.« less
