North Carolina day hiking for every body : what to know and where to go from the Blue Ridge to the beaches / Whitney Harris Wallace.
"Blending practical advice, personal stories and historical context, this book highlights, in word and image, trails suitable for diverse bodies, experience levels, and abilities-encouraging those who may not see themselves as typical hikers to find their home on the trail. Alongside detailed tips on safety, preparation, and environmental stewardship, the book also emphasizes the mindful benefits of spending time outdoors. From serene coastal paths to shaded mountain trails, hikers are invited to slow down, savor the moment, and find calm and connection in the Tar Heel State's diverse natural spaces. Whether you are a longtime hiker or are just starting out, this guide encourages everyone to step outside and experience North Carolina's diversity of shorter hikes in a whole new way"-- Provided by publisher.
