This is the official guide to the 236 miles of the Appalachian Trail from its southern terminus on Springer Mountain in Georgia (about an hour north of Atlanta) to the eastern boundary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the North Carolina-Tennessee border. The route traverses the Chattahoochee-Oconee and Nantahala national forests, as well as the park, and includes the most rugged sections of the legendary footpath south of New Hampshire and Maine. This guidebook comes with four five-color topographic maps printed on two sheets of waterproof, tear-resistant material, for the areas south of the park plus National Geographic Maps' five-color topographic map of the park, with its side trails. All the maps have scales of about one inch to one mile. The book includes detailed trail descriptions as well as information on overnight sites, water sources, natural and cultural history of the areas, and directions to trailheads.

AP trail guide,

This review is from: Appalachian Trail Guide to North Carolina-Georgia (Official Appalachian Trail Guides) (Paperback)
This is a very good overview and offers lots of info for the beginners and intermediates. The book includes three fold out trail maps for specific short sections which are the very best. But, the specific maps only cover a small percentage of the entire GA/NC AP trail.

On our last trek on this stretch of the Appalachian Trail, this book proved to be a good source for trail info. Loved the waterproof topo maps.
