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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association","offers":[{"title":"The Mountaineers Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-01-01","offer_id":46414281310463,"sku":"9781680516968","price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_dbe8be29-f6d7-4042-b051-75948502e34a.jpg?v=1734457559","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781680516968","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
