AT Guide North by David Miller
DESCRIPTION
The A.T. Guide is an innovative new version and successor to the popular Appalachian Pages handbook, written by a guy whose thru hike transformed and redirected his life. The A.T. Guide is useful for hikes of any length on the Appalachian Trail from a full blown thru hike to section or day hikes. It is intended for on-trail use, so it is compact and light, yet it is loaded with information and covers all 2000+ miles of the AT. Write in it, cut it up and take only what you need, or rip out the pages when you're done with them.
Use it as you see fit; just don't leave it sitting at home. Functionality is the principal design consideration. This book's distinctive shape opens wide to provide a long view of the trail's elevation profile and data. The profile is watermarked on the text so that you know not only what's ahead, but whether you will be going up or down (or both) to get there.
There are more than 40 maps of the towns you are most likely to visit for resupply. Easy Icons help you to quickly identify what you need, like shelters, water and campsites. Don't go out on the AT without it!Mileages to trail landmarks, south-to-north and north-to-southElevation profile maps roughly correspond to trail infoOver 40 Town maps Mileages from all shelters to the next three shelters in each directionGPS navigation coordinates for over 200 parking areasEasy Icons for easy identification of servicesTriple shelter mileages: Every shelter entry shows the distance to the next two shelters in each directionTown maps, post office locations and hours, places to eat, sleep, and resupply
