Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Spanning the border between Virginia and North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Parkway is the most heavily visited unit of the National Park system. These short, easy hikes will entice the more than twenty million annual visitors to stretch their legs and hit the trail. At-a-glance information and maps will help readers determine which hikes are the best for them.

I purchased this book with the intent of using it to plan day trips now that we live in the mountains of North Carolina. The real value of this book is in locating close hiking possibilities as well the descriptions of the hikes, elevation issues, and distances. I would not rely on the included maps, however. In the two hikes we've done, the Graveyard Fields and the Buck Spring Trail near the Pisgah Inn we found the maps to be a bit misleading and unreliable. Better carry some other maps as backup. With the Internet this is relatively easy.

This is an excellent book that has proven to be very helpful for us in planning day hikes along the Parkway. The descriptions, level of difficulty, maps, milepost numbers, distance, etc. are all accurate and just what you need to gauge what type of hike you wish to plan.
The historical facts and stories are an added interesting bonus.
