The Appalachian Trail Conference and a group of A.T. thru-hikers collaborate on a guide especially designed for potential thru-hikers who want the basic information for a five- to six-month trek in the woods, at a reasonable price, but also want the adventure of finding out the extras for themselves. With research by more than a dozen thru-hiker volunteers in 14 states, backed by the first-hand information of the Trail's volunteer and staff maintainers and managers.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The Appalachian Trail was conceived 79 years ago as a way for individuals, by their own unaided efforts, to explore the nature of the major mountain environments of the East and retreat for a while from daily industrialized life. The Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association's Appalachian Trail Thru-hikers' Companion represents a collaboration between the Appalachian Trail Conference, responsible for overseeing management of what is now a national scenic trail, and volunteers from the only organized users' group - hundreds of men and women who have hiked not only the Appalachian Trail in a single season but also many other U.S. long-distance trails. All that combined, up-to-the-minute knowledge of 'the A.T.' - from Trail-maintainers and current hikers - goes into the Companion each winter, when it is updated by scores of volunteers. (4 1/4 x 9, 208 pages, maps, illustrations, icons)

Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers' Companion 2000,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers' Companion 2000 (Spiral-bound)
I am planning a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and found this book very helpful. It gives all the information needed for mail drops,supply stops,shelters and towns along the way from Georgia to Maine. It is organized state by state and is in a handy spiral bound booklet. It is a useful guide for a thru-hike or just a couple of days on the trail. I gave 4 stars because there could be more maps. Otherwise a very useful guide.
