Geared to weekend strollers and ardent trailbusters alike, Hiker Mike's second book takes us on warm-up hikes in and around Toronto before venturing out into southern Ontario's valleys, woods, gorges, ridges, moraines and cliff country. Then farther -- to Algonquin Park, Temagami and the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. Too arduous? Join Hiker Mike for holiday hikes in the Bahamas. Too cushy? Follow him to Vancouver's Whistler, the Nootka Trail on Vancouver Island, or as far afield as Everest base camp! Whatever your interests or skill level, it's time to lace up your boots and follow the hiking Mike on the trail to affordable fitness, walk-away weight loss and the lighter side of enlightenment.
