Book Overview

Trail along on this 2,000-mile, bliss-and-blister adventure away from interstates and into backwoods America. Cross the Smokies, survive Virginia floods, buck New Jersey heat, walk the Presidentials of the White Mountains, and traverse a mile-long gorge. Then, 150 days later, stand victorious on the summit of Mount Katahdin in Maine. Appalachian Odyssey has everything--and then some--about the great hike. Inspiring for all ages whether you're a backpacker or an armchair hiker.
