Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The eleven Appalachian Trail Guides published by the Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC) and three of its member clubs provide the only official descriptions of each part of the legendary 2,160 mile Appalachian National Scenic Trail from Maine to Georgia. The directions - north to south and south to north on the footpath are written by volunteers who also use their free time to maintain the A.T. and manage the lands surrounding it, making these books a guided tour of their special 'backyards.' Proceeds from the sale of these guides go back into the protection and maintenance of this trail through the programs of ATC and its affiliated local clubs. A.T. guides include up to 7 detached, easy-to-read maps of the trail and nearby areas - most of which are printed on both sides of special tear-resistant, water-resistant material. All include topographical contours and elevation profiles of the route, for more careful planning of your journey. (4 1/4 x 6 1/2, 256 pages, 4 detached maps, brochure)

This review is from: Appalachian Trail Guide to North Carolina - Georgia (Appalachian Trail Guides) (Paperback)
The usual Appalachian Trail guide. Full of information you need and information you don't need, missing things you wished you knew. Apparently the people who publish these books have yet to figure out that, when hiking the Appalachian Trail, the amount of weight on your back is a consideration. Photocopy the important bits, cut them out and paste them together on an 11 x 17 piece of paper, photocopy again, on both sides of an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, leave the book at home and throw a half dozen chocolate bars in your pack instead. Enjoy the hike.

I like the AT guide books.,

This review is from: Appalachian Trail Guide to North Carolina - Georgia (Appalachian Trail Guides) (Paperback)
I'm not a weight freak. Part of long backpacking trips is dealing with what might be a heavy pack to some. I'm a strong hiker, so I don't whine about heavy packs the way others do. I like having the trail guide along. They've saved me from many a wrong turn, as I'm not big on bushwhacking and orienteering. And I just plain like reading them when I have some extra time to kick back and relax under the trees.
