Publisher's Synopsis
Trekking the Appalachian Trail is no longer the solitary experience it once was. Backpackers and hikers looking for less crowded outdoor experience should grab Long Trails of the Southeast to discover the many opportunities available in the Deep South. This guide covers 600 miles of trails in 6 states, including the 104-mile Pinhoti Trail, the 90-mile Benton Mackaye Trail, and 171 miles of the Florida Trail. Each trail is divided into segments, with at-a-glance information offering details on length, trail condition, high-points, difficulty, tips, and trailhead directions. Vivid trail reports tell readers just what they will see along the way. Finally, the Trail Notes provide mile-by-mile descriptions of the entire trail, including road crossings, water sources, shelters, provisioning possibilities, and more. Whether hiking a trail in one outing or knocking it off in sections, hiking enthusiasts will be glad to have Long Trails of the Southeast a part of their library.
