Appalachian Trail Data Book 2022

Essential for basic planning of any A.T. hike Culled from all 11 A.T. guidebooks Reflects all major changes from the previous 12 months
Sometimes termed the bible of A.T. hiking because of its use in essential hike planning, each year’s Data Book consolidates the most basic information from 11 detailed official guidebooks into a lightweight table of distances between major Appalachian Trail shelters, road-crossings, and features. It is divided according to the guidebook volumes and updated each December to account for Trail relocations, new (or removed) shelters, and other changes. In addition to codes for lodging, food, water, and other essentials, the Data Book is keyed to both the individual guidebook sections and to the separate maps. For 2022, the length of the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia (or vice versa) will be officially documented in December 2021 by the 44th edition of this classic work.
