The 2014 A.T. Thru-Hikers' Companion has been published (by ATC, data gathered by ALDHA) . The book reached ATC's warehouse and Harpers Ferry visitor center yesterday. For the first time, the book has elevation profiles.
These are high-quality, detailed elevation profiles, similar to the ones found on the official A.T. maps. They are quite crisp and really "pop" off the pages.
More info about this year's editions can be found on ATC's website at https://www.atctrailstore.org/catalo...d=756&compid=1.
There are also many more trail-town maps.
The book will start reaching stores probably next week. Proceeds support the Appalachian Trail.
