An excellent reference for what I think is the most perfect place on earth. The format was easy to understand and organized beautifully. I strongly reccomend anyone planning a trip to the Smoky Mountains to take a look at this. I have been dozens of times and still found new and interesting things I look forward to exploring on my next trip. This was a library book, I definately plan on purchasing a copy for myself. If nothing else I can look at the fantastic photos every time I want to escape, if only in my mind, to the mountains I love.
