Practical advice.......2007-02-16
A short volume that gets to the point. A practical guide to planning your AT logistics. Stresses there is more than one solution to a problem depending on the person. Doesn't candy coat or judge and recognizes that the mental side of the trip will be the real test.
Excellent source.......2006-05-16
My wife is considering hiking the trail and gave this book high marks.
GOOD REFERENCE.......2006-03-30
You have to admit, this IS a good general reference book for the virgin AT hiker, because of its size; good info compacted and goes well with other sources, but you won't find a seasoned through-hiker carrying one!
Mediocre Literature.......2003-08-04
I personally have bought every book possible concerning the Appalachian Trail while planning my thru-hike. However, if you are concerned about money, or wasting time reading for that matter, I would advise not to buy any of Jan Curran's books. I have read all three of his on the AT and have found them very boring, to the point of difficult to finish. Other books out there are much worthwhile.
Nonetheless, this book would be voted as the best of the three, with decent general purpose advice for long distance hikes. But there is nothing unique about the information. Pick up any hiking book and it will provide the same background. It just seems to skim the surface.
disappointing.......2002-10-28
Just as disappointing as Curran's "TheAppalachian Trail: A Journey of Discovery." Much is promised, but little is delivered.

Walking the Appalachian Trail.......2007-09-10
This was a book that was hard to put down once I got started reading, because I waned to know more about the trail and how to get started
better than A Walk in the Woods.......2007-06-05
As someone who grew up within a stone's throw of the AT in East Tennessee, I've had a lifelong passion for the trail and have spent a lot of time hiking it. Along those lines I've also read a lot about the trail, exhausting my library's scant collection of books on the AT.
I was eager to crack open Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" when it came out because so many people recommended it to me. Boy am I sorry I did! What I was hoping would be a thoughtful, enlightening, and entertaining story of a man's journey turned out to be a big disappointment. Bryson was exceedingly whiny and had an ugly, close-minded perspective on the trail, especially concerning people in the South. He even skipped one of the best sections of the trail: that along the TN-NC border north of the Smokies and south of Damascus! If you want to hear a city-raised yankee whining about the outdoors, then be my guest to that overhyped travesty of a book.
If you want to learn something about the AT, its people, and its culture, then read this book. As much time as I've spent on the AT, even I learned something! It's easy to read and you can pick it up, thumb to any chapter, and entertain yourself with fantastic stories and learn what it's really like to be a thruhiker. This a nonfictional masterpiece, and people from all walks of life, from urbanite yankee to downhome hillbilly, have something to learn from this book.
a good read.......2007-05-14
i would read it again. you can tell that the author gets a little emotional about the trail. i was hoping for a more practical guide to hiking the A.T. this is difinitely not a book about equipment and doesn't include any maps.
A head for the hike.......2007-02-16
Why do people hike the AT? How do people hike the AT. Where do they find the inspiration to start and carry-on? What adversity did they have to overcome? What trail magic did they encounter? I think if you are contemplating tackling the AT, this book takes looks from many different mental angles at the proposition. It does provide some practical insights as well, but I got the sense of determination and stubborness required to attempt the journey. If you want a book on the nuts and bolts of thru-hiking try a different title.
Liked this one!.......2007-01-05
I really like all the various stories and the broad range of opinions presented in this book. A fun read.
Book Description
Blending sage advice with personal experiences and anecdotes, this unconventional book is an unusually thoughtful account of long-distance trekking on the Appalachian Trail. Mueser draws upon interviews and questionnaire data gathered from over 100 long distance hikers hoofing it through the Applachian Mountains.

Filled With Facts.......2007-05-22
The book was filled with a lot of good information for someone looking to hike the Appalachain Trail.
I did have one problem with the book. I found it to be a slow read and I had trouble reading it for long periods of time. It reminded me a lot of my school text books. But if you can overcome this set back you will learn a lot from the book.
The most interesting fact I found was that it costs on average $1 / mile to hike the AT.
Summary of Hiking Issues.......2006-05-27
This book, based on a number of surveys, provides a broad understanding of what hiking the AT is all about. It explores the motivations of thru-hikers along with answering lots of questions most of us have when planning to hike all or sections of the AT. Easy reading, well organized and lots of facts.
Great book for the aspiring A.T. thru hiker........2006-02-17
If you only read one book before hiking the Appalachian Trail, this is the book. The book is very informative and really helping me prepare for my thru hike.
Terrific Statistical Information.......2005-10-08
Roland Mueser has written a terrific book that contains the results of interviewing dozens of hikers. He chose to tackle the subjects of why thru-hike?, footwear, food, equipment, and much more. He also did some scientific testing of his own when it comes to fighting insects. Mueser did a 4-mile run in the woods with DEET and re-did the run without insect repellant so he could tally the bug bites and report his fingings.
Mueser has put together the results of over 100 surveys so that he could bring you some great information that pertains to the long distance hiker.
fascinating.......2004-10-06
This book gives interesting facts about typical hiker experiences on an adventure along a 2000 mile hike along the east coast of the United States. The author portrays the experience as a strange one, and gives survey results from dozens of fellow hikers.

Well worth the money.......2005-08-31
PLEASE NOTE: THERE are NOT 170 hikes in the book. The whole series must contain that many.
I own 3 books in this series. The Southern Appalachian, the Virginias, and the Mid-Atlantic States guide. I have found these books to be a great aid in planning hikes, especially 2-3 day backpacking trips. Since most of these hikes are either one-way or round trip (as opposed to circuit hikes) you either need to have two cars or plan on seeing the same sites twice. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but other books have better circuit hikes.
This series IS very informative, not only with regards to the actually hike, but also the history both natural and otherwise of the area you are hiking in.
I have not used this edition as much as I have the other 2 guides that I own in this series, but it did come in handy during a spur of the moment trip to NC/TENN. The maps could be a little better, as they are topographical maps with a green line for the trail.. They are adequate, but I've seen better.
All 45 hikes come with a description, a map, an elevation profile, and an itinerary, as well as various other information.
When planning for a hike I do tend to use this book in conjunction with other books, but I usually take this book (or copies of the pages) on the actual hike itself. The fact that the pages are so small allows for easier handling and storage of the laminated pages during the trip.
So if you enjoy hiking and are near the AT while in the 'Southern Appalchians', you may want to take a look at this book. It is well worth the money.
Exploring The Appalachian Trail: Georgia, North Carolina, Te.......2002-10-28
I checked this book out of my local library and found it to be the most informative book on the AT. The sections of the AT that I have personally hiked were very well covered in this book.It is very difficult to find accurate maps with tons of land marks and information the terrain. As well as a well thought out itinerary so you may better gauge your time and enjoy the trail, rather than worrying about where you are going to find water and shelter. So now I'm on amazon.com to buy this book to use on my next visit to the AT.
not for the out of stater.......2002-05-03
I'm probably spoiled by the AMC guides for New England, but I found this book to be somewhat uninvting and lacking in some key areas. The maps weren't all that great they clearly aren't for a guy from the north east who's trying to find his way through the red dirt maze that is North Georgia. Directions to the trailheads could be markedly improved, as some (particularly the ones I used) use forest service roads that park rangers (let alone easily purchased maps) don't know well.
The copy and descriptions are good once I got to the trailhead, and organized linearly along the trail. I really enjoyed the plots of trail elevation over distance.
A guide beyond the day hiker.......2000-09-25
I used this book to plan my first trip to the AT with a group of Boy Scouts. It was extremely useful in selecting my route. Especially useful was the trail summary in the beginning of each chapter. Also equally useful was the hike itinerary, giving distances between significant points. I found, however, the linear trail profile to be slightly misleading on a few sections of the trail. (More useful was the profile found in The Appalachian Trail Official Map from the Appalachian Trail conference.) This day hike book was perfect for my 5 day trip because each hike begins where the other left off. This was vital in my planning and I would highly recommend it for anyone needing a detailed description of the trail. Oh, and don't forget your hand lens. :)
Finally, planning a day hike is EASY..........2000-06-25
If you're planning to hike a small day or two-day section of the Appalachian trail in or around NC, this is the book for you. I wanted to hike a small section of the trail, but I only had two days and had to finish at a very specific point. I used the book to help me plan the hike and it was amazingly easy; none of the obstacles I expected caused problems. The hike went off without a hitch, thanks to the brilliantly organized hiking guide. Aside from the planning aspect, the topographical maps were priceless along the trail. I considered doing the hike without a planning book, but I'm thankful that I used such a quality source.

I have done approx 10 of the 46 hikes in this guide, including both out and back day hikes, as well as 4 day 'thru-hikes' combining 2 or more of these hikes strung together, and this book has been very informative during these hikes. The maps could be a little better, as they are topographical maps with a green line for the trail.. They are adequate, but I've seen better.

Lace up your boots, grab your pack , and hit the trail!.......2001-02-05
Before I read "Exploring the Appalachian Trail - Hikes in the Virginias", I thought you could only experience the Appalachian Trail on an extended backpacking expedition. Man, was I wrong! Even if you only have a few hours to spare, you can still enjoy hiking on the AT - this book shows you how. One of a series covering the entire trail from Georgia to Maine, this book describes a wide variety of dayhikes in Virginia.
With this book, I've explored many beautiful sections of the trail in that state - including McAfee Knob, Grayson Highlands, and Shenandoah National Park. You can bet that I will continue to use the "Exploring the Appalachian Trail" series in planning future hikes on the AT!

Customer Reviews:
Considering spending seven months of your life in a grueling endeavour?.......2007-09-12
Read this book first. For one thing, someone considering a thru hike of one of the three major north/south trails of America has to decide which one, or at least which one first. This book provides a general overview of the those three trails, but in itself will not be sufficient to plan any of them. That's not a fatal flaw in that when you actually get ready to plan a specific trip, you would want to buy a single book dedicated to that hike that you could carry with you the whole of the trip.
Really, my only criticism of it is that I wish it had more photos. Most of those that are in here are grainy black and whites that just don't do justice to their subject matter. I would have paid double for something a little more photo journalistic.
For the dreamer.......2003-08-04
Excellent book for anyone planning a long distance hike or for anyone who dreams of adventure. Provides great background information of all three trails. A must read.
Excellent book.......2002-11-05
For those of us out there who dream of tackling one (or all!) of the triple crown trails, this book is an awesome resource. Karen Berger is realistic and frank yet encouraging in her advice to long-distance hikers.
Berger's love of these magnificent trails is what makes this book--klike her other books, especially "Where the Waters Divide"-- shine; she obviously has a profound respect for these national treasures and realizes the importance of making others aware of them as well. It's easy to read, has some great photos, and offers shorter hikes to those less inclined to set off on a 6-month thru-hike. The book is useful as both a general hiking reference tool as well as in the planning stages, especially for the At and the PCT; it is also useful for those who wish to do shorter hikes on any of the triple crowns.
Great overview of the three trails.......2002-01-01
This is a fine overview of the three major hiking trails that criss-cross the United States. The major focus of the book is on the renowned Appalachian trail, with most of the text devoted to the AT. The Pacific Crest Trail has some useful information, though the chapters on this trail are shorter and less detailed. The Continental Divide Trail is given more sparse coverage, because the trail is not yet completed and is not attempted by very many hikers, except the very bravest souls.
This book is recommended for people who are not in the immediate stages of planning a thru hike. If you're planning on tackling any of these trails, specific books on each individual trail is the way to go. There is too much general information here for those seriously considering a hike in the near future. This book is fine as an overview and to give you a sample feel of each hike, but is less successful for one planning a hike in the coming year.
The writing is excellent and the book is riveting in sections. For all those obsessed with hiking any of the grand thru trails in America, this is an excellent and recommended resource.
Awesome!.......2001-05-25
"Hiking the Triple Crown" is an awesome volume. If you're not familiar with any of America's three great Wilderness trails, this is a head-first dive into refreshing waters.
Even those who consider themselves pseudo-expert hikers, well-read on these thru-hikes (like myself), will find delightful insights when seeing them presented back-to-back-to-back like this. For example, many PCT- and CDT-hikers tend to refer to the Appalachian Trail as "that wussy trail back East" because of its shorter mileage, lower elevation, and the fact that you really don't need a map because of crowds and blazed markings. However, she explains that the AT is actually the most difficult of the three when it comes to frequent steep climbs and rocky footpaths. Having only hiked sections of the PCT and CDT myself, I never knew that. Ground-leveling comparisons like that (no pun intended) abound through the text.
Being one of the few people ever to have finished the whole Triple Crown, Karen brings great perspective to the nature of America's greatest trails that few can claim to have. A fantastic book for anyone interested in ANY of these trails.
Product Description
The official guide (12th edition) to 296 miles of the Appalachian Trail from the Virginia line near the small town of Damascus, through the Roan Highlands of northeastern Tennessee and along the North Carolina border all the way through Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the longest stretch of high-elevation terrain of the whole 2,174-mile footpath. The book includes descriptions of the route (unidirectional format), along with natural and cultural history. The detached topographical, shaded-relief maps include a four-map set (on two sheets) scaled at 1:63,600 with 100-foot contour intervals for the stretch north of the park and the five-color, two-sided map of the park at 1:62,500 published by National Geographic Trails Illustrated in cooperation with the Appalachian Trail Conference. All maps have GPS-checked elevation profiles. The maps north of the park are the first for hiking to be generated by ATC's geographical-information systems (GIS) office.
Customer Reviews:
Very useful.......2007-01-19
This packet will be very useful on our journey on the AT. The maps are waterproof and very detailed with shelters, mileage, and altitude. The book itself contains everything we needed to know about each section of the trail and allowed us to choose which sections we deemed most inviting.

Great help for planning........2006-10-10
I am in the process of section hiking the AT, and this book was a great supplement to the regular guides and maps. It was especially helpful in the more difficult sections such as the Mahoosuc Range because it identified the most and least strenous sections - very useful in planning where to stop and how many miles to try in a day. For example, for northbound hikers, the first 9-10 miles from Route 2 north are not too bad, while the rest are a real challenge. Instead of trying for the usual 10 or more miles per day, I knew where to plan for 5-mile days. I was not disappointed - these were TOUGH miles.
In general, the authors' descriptions of difficulty matched my experience on the trail. I am sometimes a little slower than they predict, but then, I am a little older than most of the people on the trail!
The book is NOT a complete guide to the AT sections - almost all of the hikes use other trails to access the AT. But it is still very useful.
In addition, the authors provide lots of human and natural history. Example: Want to know why there is a trail called Six Husbands in the White Mountains? It's because an Amerindian queen decided she wanted that many mates. They do refer to her as "polygamous" rather than "polyandrous," but that'a a quibble.
The maps (topographic and elevation profile) are a helpful reference, and information about road access is also helpful in planning.
Highly recommended!
Great Book!.......2000-06-06
A Helpful guide to hikes along the Appalation Trail in Maine. The guide gives general information as well as specific information about the trail. Each hike includes specific places, distances, where to find a lean-to, and water.

Excellent, provides everything from mileage to maps to descriptions for every inch of the AT.......2007-04-05
I have 2 books in this series, and have frequently used photocopied pages from them on my AT section hikes. I never needed to buy the AMC versions of the maps since comprehensive maps are provided within this book, along with mileage charts for road crossings, springs, campsites, landmarks, etc. for every section of the Trail.
Although this book is obviously geared for the day-hiker or overnighter, it has also come in handy on my longer hikes. And the writers have narrowed down every section into either 1- or 2-day hikes, along with directions to the trailheads (even in the remote 100-Mile Wilderness section in Maine!), proving that the AT can be enjoyed by casual hikers as well as hardcore mile-crunchers.
Cons: This book, and the others in the series, is seriously due for an updated edition. Lots has changed along the trail even in 8 years. (carrying up-to-date pages from the ALDHA Thru-Hikers' Companion is necessary to have the full info). Also, the maps are two-color, making certain features hard to read, i.e. roads are the same color as elevation markings.
Well worth the money..........2005-08-31

This series IS very informative, not only with regards to the actually hike, but also the history both natural and otherwise of the area you are hiking in.
I have only done a few of the hikes in the Mid-Atlantic Guide, all of which have been out and back day hikes, and this book has been very informative during these hikes. The maps could be a little better, as they are topographocal maps with a green line for the trail.. They are adequate, but I've seen better.
All 41 hikes come with a description, a map, an elevation profile, and an itinerary, as well as various other information.
When planning for a hike I do tend to use this book in conjunction with other books, but I usually take this book (or copies of the pages) on the actual hike itself. The fact that the pages are so small allows for easier handling and storage of the laminated pages during the trip.
So if you enjoy hiking and are near the AT while in PA, you may want to take a look at this book. It is well worth the money.
Must-have for scout leaders / Excellent for planning hikes.......2003-12-08
It is clear that these authors were not kidding when they stated that they have a love affair with the Appalachian Trail. The descriptions not only cover all you need to know to be prepared to hike a certain section, but there's lots of history and local color as well.
I've used this book successfully to plan hikes for a youth group. I must admit I disregarded the advice that a certain section (Knife's Edge) was not for those suffering from vertigo and sure enough, the group of kids I took on this section included one who suffered severely from fear of heights. But the kids worked together to get through that section and all was very well in the end.
This book is by no means dry. Sprinkled here and there are humorous passages, like the classification of vampire rocks versus jumping rocks. A pollution-damaged section is described as "shaved clean."
An experienced hiker who has decided to hike section-hike or day-hike the trail between Harper's Ferry and the New York / Connecticut state line needs no other guide. I also recommend this book for the library of every youth group, particularly scouts, in this geographic area that would (or should) plan hiking outings as part of their yearly plans.
Excellent book for detailed sectional or thru hikes on AT.......1999-06-08
There are many books about the AT, but this one is superb for it's detail and attention to partial sections for hiking. Can be used for thru hiking as well. Gives day and overnight parking details, profile of terrain, degree of difficulty, recommended direction, water and shelter locations, topo maps, mileage etc. Everything that a hiker needs!! Excellent.
