- The cultural and societal trends that fostered its growth.
- Profiles of the early hikers.
- Why the first hiking trails were built.
- The profound influence of the first hiking clubs, and how they spread hiking across America.
- What the early hikers wore, and what some of the key innovations were that led to our modern array of gear and apparel.
- Hiking's popularity has led to overcrowding issues in recent years. The final chapter discusses the ramifications of this trend on hikers, trails, national parks and other public lands.
