Moon Drive & Hike Appalachian Trail (Second Edition)

The Best Trail Towns, Day Hikes, and Road Trips Along the Way
This revised edition is part of Moon's "drive-and-hike" concept, covering road trips along the iconic Appalachian Trail, with day hikes, short getaways, and the best towns along the trail

Whether you're stopping for a day trek or taking a weekend getaway, hit the road and hike the legendary trail with Moon Drive & Hike Appalachian Trail.

- Make your escape on shorter trips from major cities or drive the entire three-week route from Georgia to Maine
- Find your hike along the Appalachian Trail with detailed trail descriptions, mileage, difficulty ratings, and tips for picking the right section of the trail for you
- Discover adventures off the trail: Immerse yourself in the spirit of colourful trail towns, peep the changing leaves in the Berkshires, and cruise the sun-dappled Skyline Drive. Kick back after a day hike at a microbrewery in Asheville, dig in to southern barbecue (hey, you've earned it), or unwind in the coffee shops and art galleries of a hip New England hamlet
- Take it from avid hiker Timothy Malcolm, who shares his insight on the best views, waterfalls, mountains, and (of course!) breweries
- Full-colour photos, strategic itineraries, easy-to-use maps and site-to-site driving times
- Get the lowdown on when and where to get gas, how to avoid traffic, and braving different road and weather conditions, plus tips for LGBTQ travellers, seniors, and road-trippers with kids

With Moon Drive & Hike Appalachian Trail's practical tips and local know-how, you're ready to lace up your hiking boots, pick a trailhead, and embark on your adventure.
