The A.T. Guide 4+

Since 2010, The A.T. Guide®, a.k.a. “The Awol Guide,” has been 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 & gaps. The trail’s elevation profile is included & every landmark is aligned to the profile. Hikers using this guide know where they are on the trail, what views, streams & campsites are ahead & whether they’ll be hiking uphill or downhill to get there. The A.T. Guide answers all of your questions about how to get rides, where to stay, & where to get supplies. There are 95 maps of towns on or near the trail showing where to find these services & detailed listings for businesses. The A.T. Guide is the most innovative trail guidebook ever developed.
