Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers' Companion 2015

Więcej o książce

The longtime champion of thru-hiking guides for two decades! Now with professionally crafted elevation profiles, almost 50 new maps, and redesigned tables (more information at a glance, including parking spots).Still the only such guide written by volunteers for which all the proceeds are returned to the Trail by these two nonprofits! The Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association collaborate each year on a guide especially designed for potential thru-hikers who want the basic information for a five- to six-month trek in the woods, at a reasonable price, but also want the adventure of finding out the extras for themselves. Who uses it the most? Section-hikers, because there are more of them.Edited by Robert "Sly" Sylvester, with research by more than three dozen thru-hiker volunteers in 14 states, backed by the first-hand information of the Trail's volunteer and staff maintainers and managers and extensive information from the 2015 A.T. Data Book. Equipment-makers' toll-free numbers, post office hours, much more.
