"Thelma and Louise get sporty (and survive) in this anthology of true stories about women whose idea of fun involves sharing adventures - big and small - in the great outdoors. In essays that not only take you to mountains, forests, lakes and rivers but also explore the powerful and intimate bond of female companionship,, the editor ... introduces sixteen daring women and their travel mates as they ski, climb, hike, bike and drive all over the world"--Publisher's description.
