Synopsis
The A.T. Guide is the guidebook of choice for hikes of any length on the Appalachian Trail. The book contains thousands of landmarks such as campsites, water sources, summits and gaps. The trail s elevation profile is included and every landmark is aligned to the profile. Hikers using this guide know where they are on the trail, what views, streams and campsites are ahead, and whether they ll be hiking uphill or downhill to get there.
The A.T. Guide is the most innovative trail guidebook ever developed; The Thru-Hiker's Handbook had a long history of providing precise and detailed trail information. This edition combines the best of both books into one exceptional offering.
Features include:
- Mileages to landmarks north-to-south and south-to-north
- Elevation profile map for the entire trail
- Town maps.
- Mileages from all shelters to the next three shelters in each direction.
- GPS navigation coordinates for over 200 parking areas.
- Icons for easy identification of landmarks and services.

Review
Besides being a comprehensive guide to the AT and its supporting services, what I really think it amazing about the new Guide is the way in which David collects and manages all of the information in it. There is an enormous amount of information in the Guide about the trail itself, hiker hostels, restaurants, resupply options, health care, vets, transportation, outfitters, gear manufacturers, water sources, shelters, and so on. This is a guy who is making a lot of phone calls to keep this information up to date, in addition to visiting trail towns, and handing out GPS devices to thru-hikers who send him back coordinates to include in the book. I know some map makers, and trust me, this kind of information management is an art form. On top of keeping all of this data organized, accurate and linked together (map and GPS coordinates, elevation data and town services), David is invested in making the Guide easy to use and read, applying the visual principals of Edward Tufte to the display and organization of the information on the page. It shows. --SectionHiker.com
