One of 11 official guides to the Appalachian Trail, each of which includes a pack-sized book and up to seven separate water-resistant maps in a resealable plastic bag, this volume covers the southernmost 235 miles of the famous footpath--from Springer Mountain, Georgia, to the eastern end of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the North Carolina/Tennessee line. The three detached, full-color, tear-resistant, two-sided maps cover, respectively, Georgia, southwestern North Carolina, and the park. The maps are at a scale of an inch to a mile and include elevation profiles and topographical lines. Detailed trail descriptions are in the book, along with information on water sources, shelters, and road access points; background on area history, points of interest, geology, and natural resources; and locator maps and photographs.

This review is from: Appalachian Trail Guide to North Carolina-Georgia (Paperback)
I'm a novice hiker, but hike on the GA part of the AT when I do. This product was recommended to me by a friend & the packet of maps is excellent. I especially LOVE the map that includes the elevation changes of the trail. Definitely worth it for the price.
