Description

The North Carolina-Georgia edition covers 239 miles from the eastern end of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park through the Nantahala and Chattahoochee national forests to Springer Mountain, Georgia. This set includes one guidebook and four maps on two sheets (scale, 1:63,360), plus the National Geographic map of Great Smoky Mountains National Park (scale, 1:62,500).The pocket-sized planning guide contains background and interpretive information, points of interest, general advice, shelters, water sources, and road crossings. The omnidirectional format allows you to see where you are whether southbound or northbound. Each map is focused on the Appalachian Trail and overlaps with the neighboring maps. The surrounding area, out to about three miles, and additional side trails are also included. An easy-to-use elevation profile shows ups and downs and the distance to the next campsite or shelter, side trails, and water sources. For added interest, maps indicate federal or state lands, road crossings, waterfalls, and scenic areas. Maps are both water- and tear-resistant.

    At this time I can only section hike and this gives me the information to plan where my wife has access to drop me off and pick me up. I know the miles I need to walk between shelters and side paths to take for a view or supplies if needed.

    clear, concise information presented in a great format. personally, i wish s-n was on the left of the pages and i did not have to reverse the information but after many years of use i have grown accustomed to it! this is my go to and has been for many years. the maps are wonderful as well.
