Description	The Thru-hiker's Handbook is the guidebook of choice for doing extended hikes on the Appalachian Trail. Most of the hardy men and women who have done end-to-end or long section hikes on the A.T. in the past dozen years have carried this book with them as an indispensable part of their gear. Updated annually, it contains detailed information about shelters, campsites, water sources, and other important Trail facilities along the entire 2,172.6-mile footpath, as well as the latest available information about places in nearby towns used by thru-hikers for rest and resupply ... the inside scoop on hundreds of preferred hostels, campgrounds, motels, restaurants, grocery stores, laundromats, outfitters, and other services. All information is presented in an easy-to-follow format designed specifically for field use, and has been assembled from data gathered firsthand by the author or contributed by A.T. club members and long-distance hikers from previous years. Maps of towns most frequently used by long-distance hikers are included, and this edition contains mileage data for the entire A.T. from Georgia to Maine or vice versa. As you use it, you will find that The Thru-hiker's Handbook has everything you need for hiking on the Appalachian Trail; designed for use on either northbound or southbound thru-hikes.
