Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

These exciting accounts of adventure allow you to do just that. Trek the Appalachian Trail, build a log cabin in Alaska, explore the Antarctic alongside Ernest Shackleton, or board a raft to cross the Pacific Ocean.

Our second floor display table features books and movies that take us to the farthest reaches and the highest peaks...no passport required. Just click below to view our full list of adventure stories.
