In a few years several friends and I plan to tackle the Appalachian trail. Each year I go hiking with my family, so I have some level of experience, and all of my friends and I plan to begin training immediately. However, it is a rather large step from hiking a couple of trails a day to spending every day hiking. I have not yet gone backpacking, which is something else we plan to tackle before attempting the entire trail. What books can I read/websites can I visit to learn everything I can so that my friends and I can be as safe and prepared as possible? Also, any advice you can give here would be hugely welcome. Thanks!
What books could help me prepare to hike the Appalachian Trail?
