Customer comments on this selection.
 Guide and packing
This was bought as a Christmas present. We owned several 60's versions of the AMC guide and know that it is out of date. So we wanted a new one. I was disappointed at the size of the book. The earlier versions were small pocket sized books, although thick, but they packed nicely in an accessable pocket of a backpack. I hope my husband will still like the book.
 AMC White Mountain Guide
Great product. Great customer service and response time from Amazon.
I had ordered this product from another vendor and it never came. Thankfully, Amazon came through. I'll remember that next time I make a purchase. Thank you!
White Mountain Guide
If you are going to do The White Mountains, here's your book. Useful, hold that, extremely useful trail maps... If you want to do the 48 4000 footers in NH, this is a great tool to plan your travels!
THE Guide to the White Mountains....
"THe White Mountain Guide" is the Appalachian Mountain Club's 28th and Centennial edition of its popular and indispensible hiking guide to New England's top outdoor recreational area. The guide itself, once past a few introductory chapters on safety and geography, has descriptions of each of the established trails in the region. Each description tells how to get to the appropriate trailhead, a narrative of the trail itself, and a breakdown by distance and elevation change of the major segments of the trail. These trail descriptions, updated for each edition of the guide, are invaluable in planning anything from a day hike to a multi-day trip in the beautiful White Mountains.
The guide comes in a small cardboard box with three double-sided color maps that provide coverage of all the trail routes. The maps are detailed, easy to read, and at a usable scale for the White Mountains. Inexplicably, the maps included with the guide are paper and unlikely to stand up to repeated field use in the conditions often found in New Hampshire. Dedicated hikers are recommended to invest in the waterproof and tear-resistant versions of these maps, also published by the Appalachian Mountain Club.
This guide is very highly recommended to hikers and walkers planning an outing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
great hike book and maps
This is a great set of maps and trail descriptions, though its not much for planning or suggesting anything in the white mountains. The trail maps are very well detailed, complete, and having the mileage on them directly is a nice addition. The book is a hard to use for planning, though it works for simply looking up a particular hike and reading some about the difficulty and anything you need to know to not get lost.
