Trail guidebook
Useful. Trail guide format. It is a bit dry. I will take it with me when we hike the knobstone.

A descriptive book that covers the history and the beauty of the trail. The trial may bevery hard to hike, but the book is easy to read.

Invaluable resource. I will end up purchasing this for future reference.
Update: I’ve had to give up my goal of hiking the KT - but it’s still a valuable resource (7/6/18)
