Book description
From completing the Great Divide Mountain Bike route in a wheelchair bike to swapping the city for van life in Yosemite, these 30 stories will inspire you to pack a knapsack, head outside, and push yourself. The campfire tale is ubiquitous in mountain culture. If we've climbed, skied, boated, hiked, or traveled, we've been telling stories. Inspired by the popular Dirtbag Diaries podcast, States of Adventure showcases some of the most unbelievable tales from America and beyond. These stories span the breathtaking landscapes of North America, taking you on adventures across mountains and woods, through snow, rapids, and up rock faces. Set alongside stunning imagery from well-known outdoor photographers, these stories capture a spirit of adventure and wilderness on every page.
