BOOKS AND CALENDARS THE THRU-HIKER'S HANDBOOK

The Thru-Hiker's Handbook by Bob "501" McCaw is the guidebook of choice for doing extended hikes on the Appalachian Trail.  For the past fifteen years hikers have carried the latest edition of the handbook for awesome information and part of their backpacking gear. 

The handbook offers information that is incredibly detailed to the trail and mileage data between points for the entire A.T between Springer and Katahdin.  The book shows the location of all shelters, campsites, water sources and other important Trail facilities along the entire 2,174 mile footpath.  

You can also get info about neighboring towns, amenities, hostels, campgrounds and motels as well as restaurants, grocery stores and laundromats.   Designed for field us and has been updated and changed throughout the years by previous trail hikers and A.T. club members.  Everything you need to hike the long distances of the Appalachian Trail is available in this little book.
