A favorite for 28 years of section-hikers and dreamers alike, it is still the only such guide written by volunteers, and all the proceeds are returned to the A.T. by these two nonprofits. Fact-checking research is done by more than two dozen thru-hiker volunteers in 14 states, backed by the first-hand information of the trail's volunteer and staff maintainers and managers. Includes gear manufacturers' toll-free numbers, post office hours, and much more.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1680518232\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781680518238\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Associa\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Appalachian Trail Conference\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Appalachian Trail Conference","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Feb 2026)","offer_id":46081721401541,"sku":"9781680518238","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781680518238.jpg?v=1776048680","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/appalachian-trail-thru-hikers-companion-2026","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
