AMC White Mountain Guide, 28th: Hiking trails in the White Mountain National Forest (Appalachian Mountain Club White Mountain Guide) Review
As others have said, this is the indispensable guide to "the Whites." Who needs a Fifty Hikes book? The AMC Guide has thousands of hikes, and sussing them out is almost as good as being on the trail. My own version, with orange covers, was the Seventeenth Edition of 1963> it was my faithful companion when I hiked to the summits of the Four Thousand Footers and other bits of backcountry foolishness, including a hundred-mile traverse of the White Mountains in July 1975, a story I told in The Country Northward: A Hiker's Journal, On the Trail in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, recently updated in paperback and as a Kindle e-book. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford

Customer Reviews
So much better - K. Robertshaw - Derry, NH
My last AMC guide was the 25th edition. I bought this one recently when I began hiking again after a 7 year absence. I say it's so much better because the maps include trail milage! This makes planning so much more efficient. I also like the "suggested hikes" pages at the end of each section.
WHITE MOUNTAIN GUIDE - Kirsta M. Jacques - CONCORD NH
MUST NEED IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON HIKING IN NH. I HAVE AN OLDER ONE WHICH IS JUST AS GOOD AS THIS ONE.
Essential for Hiking the Whites - D. Shults - White Mountains
An excellent guide with detailed trail descriptions and several topo maps included. If you're going to hike the Whites, this should be all you need. Make sure to check the AMC website for trail updates. 4 stars for not laminating the maps.
