Great way to learn about the trail in print and see it with the awesome pictures.
MARTY "THE WOLVERINE" SCHULTZ (Submitted on Dec 14th 2022)
Have bought 3 copies so far. 1 for me and 2 for friends. Excellent book to learn the history in print section and then visualize it from end to end with the magnificent pictures from all 14 states. Highly recommend.

Took me back to times I was on the Appalachian Trail!
Beverly D Trytten (Submitted on Jun 12th 2021)
Beautiful pictures. This is a wonderful way for this 83 year old arthritic granny to revisit the beautiful places I hiked and to groan in frustration that I can no longer hike the other places I would like to hike.
But what a superb book - one I will go over again and again!
