Hiking and Traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway

This comprehensive guidebook provides a detailed description of every official National Park Service trail along the Blue Ridge Parkway. But that's just the beginning: veteran hiker Leonard M. Adkins includes information on every trail that touches the parkway, including the Appalachian Trail and other public pathways on national park, state park, national forest, municipal, and private lands, along with citations for the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Far more than a guide to the trails, this book will help you plan your whole trip. It's the perfect companion for your next parkway adventure. Includes:every public trail along the parkwayGPS coordinates and 72 maps255 total trails, including 12 new trails since the last editiontrail length and difficultypoints of interestwheelchair accessibilitya short history of the parkway and regioncampgrounds and lodgespublic restroom locationselevation change charts for cycliststunnel heights for RVswildflower bloom calendarselected sightseeing information on nearby towns
