The Appalachian Trail: Celebrating America’s Hiking Trail
The Appalachian Trail: Celebrating America’s Hiking Trail, by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy with a foreword by Bill Bryson, is half a survey of the history of the Trail since conception—backed by archival photographs, documents, and maps—and half a collection of 300 stunning images from throughout the reach of its 2,184 miles. Inside a pocket at the back of this 10-inch-square hardcover edition is the 9- by 48-inch National Park Service “strip map” poster of the entire footpath.
This 332-page ATC book, copublished with Rizzoli International, documents the history, beauty, and significance of the making and enhancement of America’s most-storied trail, the trail in our care. It goes on public sale September 25 at $50 retail ($45 for ATC members). Preorders received by the Trail’s 75th anniversary on August 14 will earn a 10% discount on those prices.
