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)

Pennsylvania Hiking Trails,
By
This review is from: Appalachian Trail Guide to Pennsylvania (Appalachian Trail Guides) (Paperback)
Overall this book describes all of Pennsylvania's hiking trails. Pennsylvania has over three thousand miles of hiking trails, so it is important to find a good book the depicts all of them. It also includes several modern waterproof topographical maps that are very useful with navigation of the trail. Longitude and latitude are availible for compass and navigation headers. However while this book is an excelent guide, it does seem to be never-ending with the trails. There is always one after another. Although this is one of my favority hiking guides. The philosophy of the book states, "The basic goal of this edition is to provide the hiker with a comprehensive list of available hiking areas and trails". This book is still not limited to trails alone, it shows helpful places to camp, and to restock supplies. This book was written with the help of the Keystone Trails Association which is an alliance of Pennsylvania organization's which share the belief of helping hikers. This book is an excelent guide.
