Book Review: Appalachian trail Thru-Hiker's Companion
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not a map - though there are some simple maps (line drawings) of the more densely populated town centers, showing all the major points of interest. Excellent reference material for anyone considering a hike on the famous Appalachian Trail. Extensive info on what, when, where, why and how. Get the most recent year you can find, as things change from year to year. Everything you need to know to help make your Trail experience as trouble free and enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended - a must have/must read. Amazon is the place for books.

Summary of Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers' Companion (2008)

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association collaborate on the #1 guide for those who seek to hike the A.T. from end to end. It is especially designed for potential thru-hikers who want the basic information (on towns and shelters and water) 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. Edited by Leslie "Gotta Hike" Mass, who hiked the whole trail after age 60. 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, and extensive information from the 2008 A.T. Data Book. Sized at 4" x 9" for easy packing, with town maps, illustrations, equipment-makers' toll-free numbers, post office hours.
