The official guide to the 141 miles of the Appalachian Trail between the Vermont and New York lines, paralleling the western borders of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Features of the route include Mt. Greylock and its many side trails, the nearby towns of the Berkshires, and the riverwalks of western Connecticut. This guidebook, in modern "unidirectional" format, comes with a set of four detached topographical maps (two sheets, printed on both sides), scaled at 1:63,360 with 100-foot contours and including elevation profiles, shelters and other features and water sources. The maps, which are waterproof and tear-resistant, extend several miles into Vermont and New York. The book now includes detailed elevation profiles as well.
