This comprehensive guidebook provides a detailed description of
every official National Park Service 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 and other public pathways
on national park, state park, national forest, municipal, and
private lands, along with citations for the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
Far more than a guide to the trails, this book will help you plan
your whole trip. It's the perfect companion for your next parkway
adventure.
