This comprehensive guidebook provides a detailed description of
every official trail along the Blue Ridge Parkway. But that's just
the beginning: veteran hiker Leonard M. Adkins includes information
on every trail that touches the Parkway, including the Appalachian
Trail, the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, and other public pathways on
national park, state park, national forest, municipal, and private
lands. You'll find GPS coordinates for official Parkway trailheads,
along with fifty maps and many photographs of what you'll see along
the way. Adkins notes each trail's length, difficulty, points of
interest, handicap accessibility, and natural features.
Far more than a guide to the trails, this book also tells you what
to expect at overlooks, as well as where to dine, sleep, and find a
restroom, and suggests worthwhile side trips. Elevation change
charts for bicyclists, minimum tunnel heights for RVs, camping
recommendations, roadside bloom calendars, sightseeing information
for nearby towns, and other advice make this the perfect companion
for your next Parkway adventure.
