Appalachian Trail thru-hikers' companion 2023
(Book)

"The Appalachian Trail calling you from the couch? Let the official guide for Appalachian Trail thru-hiking for more than a quarter-century show you the path. The Appalachian Long Distance Hiker's Association's Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers' Companion offers up-to-the-minute knowledge of "the A.T." from current hikers and the Trail. It provides essential information on hiker-oriented services near the Trail. This 30th edition has new maps, revised tables with great new information, and professionally drafted elevation profiles with 2023 data. The Companion remains the only thru-hiking guide that reflects the perspectives of many and the only one produced by nonprofits that put the proceeds entirely back to the Trail. ALDHA is the only organized Trail users' group. It compiles the Companion, seeking to make walking on the A.T. your adventure--the adventure of a lifetime. Conditions on the Trail change constantly. To check the latest, go directly to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy's web site (www.appalachiantrail.org/trail-updates). The ALDHA web site (www.aldha.org/companion/online) is another source of updates, more information, and new thru-hiking tools." --,Back cover.
