Hiking Guide

This book is great for anyone visiting or living nearby the smoky mountains. With one hundred trails detailed in the book it has most every trail you have heard of. Each section covers regions of the park and their popular trails. Each of the trails has a little history, trail description, elevation, directions, etc. I bought this book after researching all the other books on these mountains. This one I found to be the most informative if you are looking for a book that guides you along most of the trails in the park. Not only does the book walk you through the trail, it gives you a brief history which is really interesting. Definitely a bargain of a book with what it packs in the pages.

Great Book

This is a great book for locating trails in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is organized well and the maps are great. You can do your research before you leave, or you can just take the book with you on the hike. Excellent.

Love this Book

I love this book as well as the other Russ Manning guide books. Although I try to keep books in great shape this one is so well used that it is dog-eared, written in, and just generally bent from all of the backpacking it has done. I rely on the guide book to get me to new heights in the Smokies. Russ Manning does a great description with the maps and with the hikes. And I know that he keeps up with the changes in the terrain since I have met him on one of my hikes in the Smokies.

More than the trail

You don't have to just hike the Appalacian trail if you visit the Smokey Mountain National Park....and this book proves it. Packed with information about the parks and it's trails and non-trail hiking, it's a good book to pack for that vacation you are taking to the area. For day hikes, overnight hikes, or thru hikes of the area, this is a good resource.
