For the featured systems, the book describes modes of travel, amenities, quality of experience, terrain, required skill level, the route itself, wayfinding tips, and booking and cost details, with photographs and maps. Suggested day-by-day itineraries with mileages, elevation gain and loss, and hut GPS coordinates help adventurers craft their trip. Demas and Bradley also offer a general history of hut systems around the world and examine how they have developed in the US over the past century. This comprehensive, practical guidebook is the first to cover all of the US hut systems, meeting growing interest in hut-tohut travel.
