New York-New Jersey Trail Conference

A selection of 52 hikes in the New York metropolitan area - one for each week of the year. The hikes are taken from Dan Chazin's popular Hike of the Week column in The Record and are organized by season and level of difficulty. Each hike is accompanied by a map and a sidebar that focuses on some interesting aspect of the hike, such as history, geology, wildlife, etc.

Hike of the Week: A Year of Hikes in the New York Metro Area

Consists of a guidebook and two detached, double-sided maps (in a display box) for 172 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Kent, Connecticut, to Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area on the Pennsylvania/New Jersey border. The indexed book contains "omnidirectional" trail descriptions, natural and cultural history of the areas crossed, and information on road crossings, parking, shelters, water sources, points of interest, and general advice. The six-color maps—redone from scratch for this edition, using state-of-the-art GIS materials as the starting point—cover about 40 miles per side. The scale is an inch to a mile, with 50-foot contour intervals for the topography and the essential elevation profiles for the trail route.

Appalachian Trail Conference

Sometimes termed 'the bible of A.T. hiking,' each year's Data Book consolidates the most basic information from 11 detailed guidebooks into a lightweight table of distances between major Appalachian Trail shelters, road-crossings, and features. It is divided according to the guidebook volumes (one state or two or, for Virginia, parts of a state) and updated each December to account for Trail relocations, new (or removed) shelters, and other changes. In addition to codes for lodging, food, water, and other essentials, the Data Book is keyed to both the individual guidebook sections and to the separate maps. Day-hikers and long-distance hikers alike rely on this volume for armchair planning as well as on-the-trail orientation.This also is the source for the ever-changing official answer to, How long is the trail? For 2009: 2,178.3 miles.
