Gorgeous Photography!
Such a fascinating read! I bought this for my sister as a Hanukah present and took a peak at it myself before wrapping. The photographs are gorgeous and the recommended hikes sound incredible. A wonderful book for those who like to travel, hike and/or learn about the world around them.

Inspirational Coffee Table Book
This book looks great sitting out on display and is a great conversation piece - not to mention inspiration for your ever growing bucket list! Beautiful photos and descriptions abound! So glad I didn't just get this on a Kindle :-P

Beautiful details... If only...
I'm hoping for another edition of this book. I own the physical copy and was excited to see it on digital hoping that the photographs would've been higher quality, but unfortunately the quality is worse than the physical copy. Which can be unfortunate when you want to take in as much detail as possible from the photographer's vision. Either way the explanation of each location is a helpful guide and glance at each space and I still feel inspired to plan and venture on more hikes each time I finish flipping through this great book.

Beautiful coffee table book
Lovely book to flick through. Bought this as a present for a friend who loves to go on long walks and hikes etc both locally and on holidays in Scotland and abroad. Its got some great content but also beautiful photographs and illustrations. Its more "inspirational" than "practical", there's not enough information to actually use it to plan a trip per se, but its great for inspiring you to travel and giving you ideas of new destinations to explore. Its also printed/bound to a really nice standard on good quality paper, which makes a big difference, it feels lovely and premium. Wonderful.
