Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers Companion

The Appalachian Trail Conference and a group of A.T. thru-hikers collaborate on a guide designed for potential thru-hikers who want the basic information for a five- to six-month trek in the woods--but also want the adventure of finding out the extras themselves. With research by more than a dozen thru-hiker volunteers in 14 states, backed by the first-hand information of the Trail's maintainers and managers.
