The new book is about places that you can only find in New Mexico and that are compelling enough and important enough to warrant a drive across the country to check out. To begin, the nation has only 25 UNESCO-designated World Heritage Sites. Three of them are in New Mexico � more than any other state. And when you add in the state�s amazing landforms, distinct sense of place, archaeological sites, and locations of historical and cultural significance, you have an amazing state for wandering and exploring. Wandering in the Clear Light of New Mexico is for those already living in the state, planning to visit the state, and for those who may have forgotten what makes New Mexico so special. Author Information David Ryan moved to New Mexico 25 years ago after hiking the 2180-mile long Appalachian Trail. His time in New Mexico has been spent wandering and exploring every corner of the state. In addition to wandering, he is the coauthor of 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Albuquerque and is the author of The Gentle Art of Wandering and several other hiking and walking books. He maintains a blog on wandering and exploring at www.gentleartofwandering.com.
