You'll have your bags packed in no time!
This is a great overview of the national parks on the Appalachian trail. I lived in Virginia, and am familiar with Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park. It was cool to learn some more history and facts of the park that I've been to in my childhood. This book is great to prepare you if you are wanting to go hiking the Appalachian trail.

excellent guide to plan a hike in the Appalachians
This is a very thorough guide, useful for both beginning and experienced hikers. The book begins with a history of the Appalachian Trail then provides information on preparing for a hike and buying the proper equipment and supplies.
Details are given about each of the five sections of the Appalachian Trail. Each section includes information about state parks, day hikes, and multi-day backpack trips. The Information includes the number of miles, the terrain, flora, and fauna you may see, the best time to visit, and nearby towns and campsites are noted. I found this book very helpful and informative. I'm ready to go.
