Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-17 00:00:00 Vincent Handal Passing it on . . . Have used the 1987 edition hiking with my family since the book came out. Recorded notes right in the book on what my daughters and son said and did on each hike. So when my son-in-law started taking my granddaughter on hikes and overnighting on trails, I bought the new edition, wrote in all my notes on what my granddaughter's mother, aunt, uncle and grandmom had said and done 25 years ago on those trails, and gave it to her dad for Christmas. BIG HIT! And the best thing is that Homan's book, though somewhat reorganized and expanded since 1987, is still accurate and informative about the trails, fauna, and flora you'll expect to see on each trail, not to mention accurate descriptions and directions to trailheads and markers. Great book, and great service to hikers, whether day-trippers or overnighters. HIGHLY recommend this guide!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-27 00:00:00 Andrew Chugg This book involves two of my recent goals - 1) start hiking the Appalachian trail; 2) read only books that are on my shelves. I bought this book sometime between your 2000-2004 from my undergraduate college bookstore. I've skimmed it before, but this is the first time I've actually read it. It is a good book. Of course some parts are dated for the 1990s, but it isn't too distracting. The content covers basic topics from equipment to potential problems encountered on the trial to backpacking with children and preparing for a thru-hike.
