Hosteling USA
The Official American
Youth Hostels Handbook
by Michael Frome
Hostels provide a unique way of travel that emphasizes in-
ternational awareness, friendship, and environmental con-
servation. European travelers have made hosteling a
household word, and many Americans are discovering that
hosteling is a wonderful way to see the world.
In America, hostels are located in scenic, historic, recrea-
tional and cultural areas. They are often found in unusual
structures such as converted mansions, ranch houses, farm
houses and historic inns—even a former lifeguard station!
They offer clean sleeping and eating accommodations for peo-
ple of all ages at low prices ($4.00 per person on the
average!)
This completely revised edition of HOSTELING USA pro-
vides up-to-date listings and descriptions of over 250 hostels
operated by the American Youth Hostels, Inc. Maps and
directions are included, along with a full description of each
hostel's amenities.

background information on special hostels in the national
parks, national forests, state parks, cities, small towns and
rural areas of America. While his literary reputation was
established with the classic Strangers in High Places, he is
also renowned as a true pioneer in the preservation and ap-
preciation of our natural environment. Vissza
