AT Map Availability While On the Trail

[irritable_badger]

Are the AT maps available for purchase along the Trail? I want to use the maps but it would be easier on my cash flow if I could purchase them as I needed them instead of buying the whole set from the get to. Is this possible?

Can't give you an answer because I rarely have need to use the trail outfitters, but have you considered that you will pay full price (or more) this way? I think you save a bit of money buying them as a set.

I understand the cost savings by purchasing them all at once but my recurring revenue stream (which I am using to fund my hike) would be much happier if I could only purchase what I needed when I needed it. I can make the set purchase but I would rather not if I can get them individually on the Trail.

Most outfitters stock AT guidebooks for the local area. They may or may not have the individaul maps for saile.

A lot of outfitters don't sell the maps seperate from the books, but some do. Can't say for sure what it's like up and down the trail. Probably best to just buy them before hand, otherwise you'll more than likely end up missing a few sections maps.

Not that that's a problem... I did the whole thing without the maps. You don't need them. But, when I hike it again, I'll carry the maps. It's really nice to have that extra info.

You will probably have to buy the whole pack of maps and guide books for $15-20 each time. But I have seen them in many outfitters in the south.
