Walking the Blue Ridge: a guide to the trails of the Blue Ridge Parkway

Veteran hiker Leonard M. Adkins describes every one of the more than 100 official Blue Ridge Parkway walking trails along with every other trail (more than 70) that comes in contact with the Parkway. For this updated edition, Adkins has rehiked many of the trails and reworked many of the descriptions of their physical features, added new trails, and deleted a few trails that have closed. There are hikes for every skill and interest level: five- or ten-minute "leg-stretchers"; one- or two-hour walks; longer day or overnight hikes. Adkins details each walk, noting exact length, points of interest, and natural features. -- From publisher's description.
