Appalachian Trail Guide to Massachusetts-Connecticut

One of 11 official guides to the Appalachian Trail, each of which includes a pack-sized book and up to seven separate water-resistant maps in a resealable plastic bag, this volume covers the 142 miles from the southern Vermont border to the New York line near Kent, Connecticut. The three detached, full-color, tear-resistant, two-sided maps are at a scale of 1:38,750 and include elevation profiles and topographical lines. Detailed trail descriptions are in the book, along with information on water sources, shelters, and road access points; extensive background on area history, points of interest, geology, and natural resources; and locator maps and photographs.
