Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
More bugs than NH in the summer
The good: Beautiful maps and tons of waypoint info on the trail and trail towns. Nice to be able to download PDF’s for offline use or print if you want a hard copy to take with you. The bad: constantly crashes, slow to respond to taps, when logging hikes many of the pages mileage points are not able to be marked or it marks a point higher on the page. The main reason I wanted to use the app was to log my section hikes. Without this function working you might as well use a PDF viewer rather than this app.
Better than the PDF
So, minus a couple of bugs, this is better than the PDF. The only thing I don’t like is that the download expires. Not sure if that means it will not be able to be opened after some time is 2022.
The AT Hiker’s Bible
This is hands down, the best Guide to the Appalachian Trail. I’m a section hiker and use this to collect intel on what I can expect to find on my route. It has not failed me yet. And now that they released this app, its one last thing to weigh down my pack. Physical book stays home from now on! Thank you!!!
