One of 11 official guides to the Appalachian Trail, each of which includes a pack-sized book and up to seven separate water-resistant maps in a resealable plastic bag. This volume covers the rugged and highly scenic 330 miles of the famous footpath from Grafton Notch just inside Maine through the White Mountains and on through the valleys and Green Mountains of Vermont to the Massachusetts line near North Adams. The four detached, full-color, tear-resistant, two-sided maps are at a scale of an inch to a mile and include elevation profiles and topographical lines. Detailed trail descriptions are in the book, along with information on water sources, shelters, and road access points, and background on area history, points of interest, geology, and natural resources.
