{"product_id":"9781476602349","title":"Historic Hiking Trails: A Directory of Over 900 Routes with Awards Available to Hikers","description":"Approximately 900 hiking trails in the United States take hikers along routes or past sites of historical importance and offer commemorative embroidered patches or other souvenirs of the outing. These trails allow hikers to gain a new appreciation for history and actually experience it, instead of only reading about it—and have something to show for their hike.    The first comprehensive guide to those trails, this work covers routes in all fifty states and the District of Columbia as well as interstate trails. The book categorizes each as \u003ci\u003ehistoric,\u003c\/i\u003e meaning that it played some significant role in history; \u003ci\u003ehistorical,\u003c\/i\u003e meaning that it takes the hiker by or into buildings or sites that have some relationship to a significant person or event, but do not themselves figure in history; \u003ci\u003enature\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003escenic,\u003c\/i\u003e because of the wildlife or scenery available along the way that can be viewed along with the historical site; or \u003ci\u003erecreational,\u003c\/i\u003e meaning that the trail was established for the long-distance hiker and history buff. Each entry also tells who the trail's sponsor is, if alternate means of transportation are allowed, location, length, route, type of terrain, what type of awards are given and any associated costs, registration requirements, and sites along the trail.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47170094629104,"sku":"9781476602349","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476602349_p0.jpg?v=1763608080","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476602349","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
