    ATC maps northern Va.

    Posted by John Schilling on Jan 31st 2025

    Haven't used maps yet but I'm sure they will be fine. While they are same scale as ATC maps further south, I had hoped they would "zero in" trail as my previous more southerly maps do. As it is, they pretty much duplicate National Geographic maps (which are also 1:63360.)

    Looking forward to using these maps

    Posted by Gadget on Feb 8th 2021

    I'm writing this review before using these maps because, as section hikers, we haven't made it this far north on the AT yet. However, we've been using Nat Geo and other AT maps and books so far and this group of Appalachian Trail Guides looks to provide superior trail information compared to those paper maps/books (except Doris Gove's book Exploring the AT (GA, NC, TN) which is outstanding.

    Buy this for tips on successful AT hiking

    Posted by Unknown on Jun 29th 2020

    Regardless if you are a day hiker or not, the Maryland/Virginia book is jammed packed with helpful information (must have items, how to read the AT, etc). There are a plethora of side trails in this section, that most people are unaware of that they exist. This book gives you detailed information for each of those side adventures. The only possible downside to the book is the fact that there is a lot of repetition. This can be a good thing as the point is definitely made clear.
