Tales behind the trails of America's national parks, thoroughly investigated and combining the popularity of ghost stories with the traditional aspects of a hiking guide. Readers will meet the chupacabra that roams the swamps inside Big Thicket National Preserve, Death Valley's moving rock and the disembodied legs that run around the Mammoth Cave Visitor Centre. A fright factor rating is listed for each hike, along with information on trailhead access, maps and difficulty levels.
Andrea Lankford, a former National Park Service ranger, has performed firefighting, law enforcement, and life-saving wilderness medicine in Cape Hatteras, Zion, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. As a ranger, she won several awards for her work as a criminal investigator, and she implemented the "Heat Kills. Hike Smart" public education program that generated media attention and is credited with preventing heat-related deaths at the Grand Canyon-a program that continues to save lives today. Her masochistic adventures include thru-hiking the entire Appalachian Trail, kayaking from Miami to Key West, cycling from Fairbanks to the Arctic Ocean, and being the first to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail. Haunted Hikes is her third book. Andrea currently lives in Southern California with her skeptic husband, a Special Agent for the United States Secret Service.
