When Trish Herr became pregnant with her first daughter, Alex, she and her husband, Hugh, vowed to instill a bond with nature in their children. By the time Alex was five, her over-the-top energy levels led Trish to believe that her very young daughter might be capable of hiking adult-sized mountains. In Up, Trish recounts their always exhilarating--and sometimes harrowing--adventures climbing all forty-eight of New Hampshire's highest mountains. Readers will delight in the expansive views and fresh air that only peakbaggers are afforded, and will laugh out loud as Trish urges herself to "mother up" when she and Alex meet an ornery--and alarmingly bold--spruce grouse on the trail. This is, at heart, a resonant, emotionally honest account of a mother's determination to foster independence and fearlessness in her daughter, to teach her "that small doesn't necessarily mean weak; that girls can be strong; and that big, bold things are possible."

Following the author's struggles on the mountain of Matterhorn, this book offers an account of the mountain's history, including the legendary first ascent in 1865, as well as a factual description of the symptoms and mechanisms of altitude sickness. No other mountain in the world is as fascinating as the Matterhorn. Since the dramatic first ascent in 1865, the drama and the myths have created a unique interest in this mountain, which has probably caused the deaths of more mountaineers than any other. Each year, thousands of climbers attempt to reach the summit, but only one in five succeeds. And every season, the mountain claims the lives of ten to twenty climbers.

After digging through several exciting but expensive adventures, the two settle on an amazing and free expedition up a nearby mountain.

On the one hand, the children marvel at the beautiful scenery that God has made; and on the other, wild animals lay quietly in the darkness of a cave waiting for some unsuspecting prey to walk in. The peaceful and pleasant pathways give way to crumbling ledges that lead down rocky cliffs. And most importantly, a lone dark figure lingers in the shadows following the children’s every movement. They don’t see him, but somehow they know he’s there. Is he their friend or a dangerous enemy? What lessons will God teach Chel & Riley on the Great Mountain Adventure?
