Appalachian Trail Wall Map [in gift box] (National Geographic Reference Map)

It you are contemplating a hike on some or all of the AT, GET THIS MAP (and of course THE AT GUIDE BY DAVID MILLER). This map has meaningful detail. Distances between significant mileposts (chart)and elevations (down the right side). Plan where the going will be tough and where it will be less tough. I would give this map ten stars if I could. Spend some time with this map and David's book (also read his AWOL on the Appalachian Trail. It is daunting) and you will have a pretty good start on determining how much of the AT you wish to experience. None better for the overall evaluation.

My brother just finished hiking the Appalachian Trail. Prior to his journey we took this map to Office Max to have it laminated so we could write on it and keep up with my brother. It has every little detail you need to know. Instead of "Where's Waldo" we played "Where's Shawn". :) Anyone planning to follow a loved one on their journey, this is a MUST have. Well worth the money. We hung it on our office door the 6 mos he was away. Great buy!

I bought this Map to keep track of my Fiance who is doing the AT. He started Feb. 16, 2014 and I've been able to see his progress. One feature I like is it.shows the elevations as well so I have an idea of what the next week will be like for him. I recommend the map to anyone who will be doing the trail and want something for family to be able to see. I took a picture of him in full gear before he left and cut it small and use it as a marker for his current location. Its great.

Great Map! I recommend this for anyone who loves the Appalachian Trail. Now I need to find a good frame for it! Only down side is that if you want to mark on the map in pen where you have been, it is not easily done. The map quality is good but the gloss finish prevents pens from working well on it (highlighters don't work with this).

This is a beautiful wall map of the Appalachian Trail and the areas surrounding it. I really like that the shelters are indicated along the trail. It makes it seem so much more real to me that I will be hiking this incredible trail this year...Lord willing:-) I would highly recommend that anyone planning to hike the AT purchase this beautiful wall map to help in planning, but also to serve as a motivator for your hike.

The map appears to be very accurate and is of good quality, but when I opened it and got it out of the tube it was shipped in it was a little crinkled towards one of the corners.

Hiking the application trail is a dream of a friend and I. This map is very detailed and great to have on the wall to view the potential trip ahead. Bought this item 2 times. Highly reccomeded. Shows miles between each point and the correct elevation markings along the way.

Wonderful map, high quality, anyone who loves the AT will enjoy this map! I bought one for me and my boyfriend, laminated them, and he built us both frames to hang them up. We are using them to track our virtual miles hiked on the AT this year as a way to keep motivated to keep walking.
