Saddle Up introduces readers to world-famous natural areas and public lands, takes them along particularly noteworthy trails, describes each area's history, natural history, and wildlife, emphasizes a "Leave No Trace" philosophy, and gives a detailed list of outfitters and cowboy adventures. It's a must-have resource for nature lovers and vacation planners everywhere.
