Classic Hikes of the World: 23 Breathtaking Treks

Only a handful of routes in Classic Hikes of the World call for the local expertise and logistical support of a guide service, but for those few, the guide service becomes a critical element.

Author Peter Potterfield personally endorses Alpine Ascents International as the choice for hikers who want to embark upon the famed Everest Trek, or the trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Mount Everest Base Camp Trek: 18 days through the highest mountains on Earth.

Kilimanjaro: A trek to the top of Africa's highest peak, one of the world's seven summits.

"Potterfield brings savvy insights, practical planning tips, detailed route info and a refreshingly stoked, conversational tone. (Classic Hikes) can be hauled at least as far as the trail head . . . but far more transportable is the inspiration Classic Hikes evokes."
-Los Angeles Times

"Classic Hikes of the World covers the best routes through the most scenic landscapes. Peter Potterfield has written about the world's greatest hikes, and his first-hand information is as useful as it is fun to read."
-Ed Viesturs, climber and author of Himalayan Quest
