During my experience on the Appalachian Trail this summer (long section hike) I used both the print and electronic version of the Thru-Hikers' Companion. The information you need is here. A mile point to mile point description of the trail, replete with a full listing of services near each road crossing, all shelters, and the distance from one shelter to the next, including miles walked on blue blaze side trails, are all included in this guide. Symbols are easy to read and interpret. Text, which follows the milepost descriptions, is clearly written and up to date. Also, new for this edition is an elevation profile for the trail that is usually easy to read (the first profile for Pennsylvania appears in the Maryland section of the trail).So, with all this going for the book, you would think that I would give it 5 stars, but I simply can't. The most common errors in the text are in the listed elevations. In some cases, these are off by more than a thousand feet, which leads to some strange results, like the summit of Bearfence Mountain being 600 feet lower than the road crossing of Skyline Drive before the climb. But the other thing I noticed on the trail was that most hikers were using the AWOL guidebook instead of this one, and this was most especially true of the Thru-Hikers. There were several reasons for this, not least of which is that the print of the text is larger in the AWOL guide. (This is why I eventually opted to use the e version, where expanding text size is easy.). But AWOL also has certain other advantages, such as listing the mileages, not just to the next shelter, but the next several shelters. And it has a more complete listing of services: friends I met on trail ordered pizza to a shelter in Maryland (and I followed their example) because the AWOL guide listed the phone number to the pizza store that delivered to the trail. My companion did not. So, the bottom line is that while this guide can be very useful for planning, I'm not sure it is currently the best. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ okay. i prefer the AT Guide *by A***8 on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014* i liked the guide, but i prefer the AT Guide for trail use. it is much easier to use. this guide does have a few good tips, like opportunities to blue blaze in bad weather, and a lot of detail and some historical insight concerning shelters and places along the trail. not a bad guide, but the organization just isnt on par with the AT Guide 2014 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny thing, you can hike the AT without a ... *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016* Funny thing, you can hike the AT without a guide. Made for a good fire starter, though. In all seriousness, if you end up using it, this is a nice, compact guide. The most important info it has is distance between locations, water sources!, and resupply points. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1773229-appalachian-trail-thru-hikers-companion-2014-paperback-february-11-2014](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1773229-appalachian-trail-thru-hikers-companion-2014-paperback-february-11-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
