Appalachian Trail, Schaghticoke Mountain To East Mountain, Connecticut, Massachusetts: Trails Illustrated 2022nd edition

Publisher Marketing: Waterproof Tear-Resistant Topographic Map GuideThe Schaghticoke Mountain to East Mountain "Topographic Map Guide" makes a perfect traveling companion when traversing the Connecticut and Massachusetts sections of the Appalachian Trail (A. T.). The trail in this section of New England skirts the northwest corner of Connecticut and traverses what remains of a once mighty mountain range. The hiking is moderate through Connecticut and the climbs are short, but can be steep. As the trail crosses into Massachusetts, it enters the Berkshires, characteristic of wooded hills, outstanding views with pleasant, flat hiking along the Berkshire plateau. Each A. T. "Topographic Map Guide" includes detailed topographic maps at a detail of 1 inch = 1 mile. Each page is centered on the A. T. and overlaps with the adjacent pages so there is little chance of getting lost. Along the bottom of each page is a trail profile that shows the distance between shelters, camping areas, and trail access points. The map and trail profile provide a step by step visual guide to hiking the trail, mile by rugged mile. The "Topographic Map Guide" is built for all levels of hiking enthusiasts, from the day tripper to the multi month 'thru-hiker'. The front pages of the printed "Topographic Map Guide" include resupply information, town inset maps, camping options, and much more. Every "Topographic Map Guide" is printed on 'Backcountry Tough' waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation.
