nature spectacular

If you're setting out on a hike, section hike or thru-hike of the AT, you'll need this as your travel buddy. The Appalachian Trail Guide to Tennessee-North Carolina is the official guide to 303 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Damascus, VA, near the Tennessee line south to the southern end of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at Fontana Dam, NC. This area includes the spectacular southern balds, the Highlands of Roan, and Cherokee National Forest, as well as the most-visited of the traditional national parks. The six detached maps (three sheets) included in the packet are water- and tear-resistant in seven colors at a scale of an inch to a mile, with elevation profiles. The book includes detailed trail descriptions as well as thorough background information on towns, historical sites, and geology.
