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.
