Philbrick's Appalachian Trail Public Transportation Guide, Complete Edition: Georgia to Maine

The Appalachian Trail is the most documented hiking trail on the face of the planet and there are mountainous stacks of information and guides to help anyone hike it. So, why add another guide to that stack?

First of all, Philbrick's Appalachian Trail Public Transportation Guide is the only comprehensive compilation of public transportation information available between two covers for accessing the Appalachian Trail.

Second, the guide is a practical resource of fresh information and not just a rehash of information found in other standard guides.

Third, the guide is designed with a unique perspective that makes it totally different from other standard guides. Those guides are designed “inside out” from a very narrow perspective of a hiker actually walking on the trail. This guide is uniquely designed “outside in” starting from a broad perspective on the national level and progressively sharpening focus to arrive at specific road access points that place a hiker on the Appalachian Trail. At every level and point of focus the guide provides detailed transit information.

Whether you are a day hiker, section hiker, or long distance thru-hiker Philbrick's Appalachian Trail Public Transportation Guide is full of the essential and practical information any sort of hiker needs for accessing public transportation to get onto or off the Trail and to help a hiker get around while visiting a town near the Trail. For thru-hikers the guide is especially important for providing the necessary information to get off the Trail in cases of an emergency, to resupply, or to just go home for a while. When planning any sort of AT hiking adventure Philbrick's Appalachian Trail Public Transportation Guide is an invaluable stand alone resource or companion guide to the more commonly used hiker guides.
