Since 2010, The A.T. Guide, a.k.a. “The Awol Guide,” has been the guidebook of choice for hikes of any length on the Appalachian Trail. The book contains thousands of landmarks such as campsites, water sources, summits and gaps. The trail’s elevation profile is included and every landmark is aligned to the profile. Hikers using this guide know where they are on the trail, what views, streams and campsites are ahead, and whether they’ll be hiking uphill or downhill to get there. The A.T. Guide answers all of your questions about how to get rides, where to stay, and where to get supplies. There are 100 maps of towns on or near the trail showing where to find these services and detailed listings for businesses. The A.T. Guide is the most innovative trail guidebook ever developed.

FAQ's
Each year we gather reroute information all during the year and then wait for the ATC to release their final mileage to compare and make any last minute adjustments. This final piece of information comes in at Thanksgiving every year. This is why, while our updates are finished by October each year, the book historically doesn’t ship until mid-January. In 2021 supply chains and print lead times became slower than ever and we had to make the decision to go to print much earlier in order to avoid extraordinarily late shipping dates. This means we have to make our calculations before ATC releases their “official” mileage. We still get the official number from ATC around Thanksgiving. Anything we may have missed we post in the PDF and on our online updates page. A pleasant side effect of this process is the PDF is immediately available for download in November and the A.T. Guide books arrive in time for Christmas shipping deadlines.
