Photographer is a rising star in adventure sports photography and has worked for "National Geographic" and "Sports Illustrated". Adventure sports are gaining in popularity and this beautiful book is a perfect gift for sports people and armchair participants alike! Everyone has a favorite place, whether it's 2,000 feet off the ground or three miles out to sea. In magnificent photographs and intriguing text profiles, fifteen adventure athletes share cherished United States outdoor spots in which they practice the basics, polish their technique, and, most important, enjoy the simple pleasure of being outside and remembering what drew them there in the first place. From the Vermont forest where Olympic medalist Bill Koch has been cross-country skiing for more than thirty years to the glacier-covered volcano in the Pacific Northwest where mountaineer Ed Viesturs learned the techniques that would take him to the summit of Mount Everest to the Tennessee river where kayaker Eric Jackson practices air loops for his next river kayaking world championship, America is one long stretch of favorite places.
