"Mountain Bike!, with titles on virtually every area of the U.S. The indexes are excellent and each guide includes photographs and at-a-glance information." - Foreword
From the Back Cover
The southern Appalachian and Smoky Mountains are some of the oldest mountains in the world. They may not scrape the sky like the monsters out West, but in trade you get an unbroken carpet of stunning natural beauty: serene, old growth forests with generous shade, secluded coves bursting with wildflowers, craggy granite overlooks where Native Americans once kept watch, and gently rolling valleys that breathe out peaceful antiquity. Finding the perfect trails is an art in this landscape, and Mountain Bike! The Southern Appalachian and Smoky Mountains is an indispensable friend for any fat-tire Picasso. You get the most detailed information on almost 100 of the best rides throughout the mountains, including tours through the Great Smokies, Pisgah, Nantahala, and Cherokee National Forests, northern Georgia, the Foothills, and the popular Tsali Trails. Author Steve Jones knows his Appalachians, and he's ridden all over them to uncover trails for every mountain biker's ability and tastes. If it's good riding, it's profiled here. Each route profile features at-a-glance key information, a thorough ride description, a detailed trail map, helpful sources of information, proximity of important services, valuable commentary on elevation changes and possible hazards and a rescue index. Mountain Bike! The Southern Appalachian and Smoky Mountains also features candid and evocative photographs, vivid descriptions of native flora and fauna, a glossary of mountain biking terms, and tips on mountain biking etiquette. (6 x 9, 336 pages, b&w photos, maps)

Book review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mountain Bike! The Southern Appalachian and Smoky Mountains (Paperback)
this book was very thourgh in the area of trail technical difficulty, however the directions to the various trails can be a little confusing. Overall this book can take you to some spectacular riding areas and put you in touch with those that can lead you to more trails.
