AMC White Mountain Guide: Hiking trails in the White Mountain National Forest

by Gene Daniell (Editor), Steven D. Smith

Since 1907, hikers have relied on the AMC White Mountain Guide as the most comprehensive guide available to the hiking trails of the spectacular White Mountains of New Hampshire and Maine. Celebrating 100 years in print this year, this new edition includes everything hikers have come to expect from this trusted resource—detailed trail descriptions, topographic maps, tips on safety and trip planning, and the latest trail data—all updated and revised by expert editors. Hikers will also find summaries of easy, moderate, and strenuous hikes, a list of the White Mountains’ 48 “4,000-footers,” plus information on the geology and natural history of the area. The Guide’s maps are also updated and now feature a more user-friendly and easy-to-read scale plus mileage points for trail segments. Whether planning a day trip, weekend excursion, or a week-long backcountry adventure, the AMC White Mountain Guide is an essential addition to a hiker’s pack.

As always, one of the best reference books for hiking in the Whites. As acknowledged by the author when I bought the book there are a few errors that occurred in publishing but none that would impact a trip.

The best guide for hiking in the White Mountains, and one of the better hiking guides in general. Hikers used to the White Mountain Guide don't realize how spoiled they are until they hike somewhere else and have to use a different guide and maps.
