“Everyone has a favorite lace, whether its 2000 feet off the ground or three miles out to sea.  All of us who love the outdoors connect to our own special spot, a place where, when we close our eyes. We can still picture every rock, every tree, or every bluff along the shoreline.  Within these pages, fourteen of the world’s top outdoor adventures will transport you to their most cherished soul spots, the chosen playgrounds in which they connect with nature and hone their skills.  World champion surfer Lisa Andersen carves perfect turns at the Florida beach she calls home; cross-country skiing Olympic medallist Bill Koch slides across the Vermont forest in which he’s trained for more than thirty years; mountaineer veteran Ed Viesturs summits the glacier-covered Pacific Northwest volcano that inspired his ascent of Mount Everest.  Featuring stunning photographs and field notes by Corey Rich, and ruminations by the athletes, My Favorite Place is an inspiration to anyone who has fallen in love with the outdoors.”
