Book size: 6" x 9" x 0.410" with 344 pages, weighing 15 oz. or 525 grams.
Here are just a few features in the guidebook:
- Mileages for NOBO hikers are on the left outer edge of the pages. For SOBO hikers the mileages are on the right outer edge of pages. This was done so that you could easily thumb through the pages and find the mileage point you’re looking for very quickly for both NOBO and SOBO hikers. No other guidebook does this.
- Easy-to-read descriptions, coordinates, and elevations, listing over 4,946 data entry points of trail-worthy information, (more than any other Appalachian Trail guidebook), allowing for easy use, no matter what direction you are hiking, NOBO, SOBO, or flip-flop, a unique feature of this guidebook.
- Easy-to-turn pages with quick identification tabs in the top, outer corners, to help you rapidly find the needed trail data in the guidebook.
- Over 5,000 GPS coordinates listed in this guidebook locating shelters, trail heads, road crossings, landmarks, establishments, attractions, and also listing Appalachian Trail parking locations, with parking capacities.
- Over 700 listings of possibilities for parking locations.
- Quick-reference icons (74) and colors, associated with detailed descriptions that allow you to rapidly determine the availability of needed services, at any particular location.
- 142 maps and road crossings maps are in the guidebook to better assist the hiker.
- Up-to-date elevation profile maps, in easy to read 30-mile sections, displaying locations, with quick-reference icons positioned adjacent to the locations, items listed on profiles are in bold type in the accompanying description.
- All items listed on the profiles are bolded on the data pages for quick reference.
- Each shelter location shows the mileage to the next three shelters north, and south, for quick reference.
