Backpacking Overnights: North Carolina Mountains, South Carolina Upstate

Looking to take in the view from the Mt. Cammerer Lookout in Great Smoky Mountains National Park? Want to walk the banks of South Carolina s Wild and Scenic Chattooga River? Perhaps you d like to catch the sunrise from your sleeping bag at Naked Ground in Nantahala National Forest. Outdoor writer Jim Parham offers all these opportunities and more in his newest guidebook, Backpacking Overnights: North Carolina Mountains & South Carolina Upstate.

Listing 50 multi-day hikes ranging from 3 to more than 20 miles, Backpacking Overnights includes everything you need to know to get out on the trail: maps, driving directions with trailhead GPS coordinates, route descriptions and mileage, difficulty ratings, elevation profiles, campsites, fees, and hiking regulations. Parham also makes suggestions for choosing gear and packing a backpack, trail etiquette, safety, selecting a route, and preparing meals for the trip.

A veteran outdoor leader who has worked with both children and adults, Parham advocates going light and Leave-No-Trace trail practices. He chooses hikes for spectacular views, waterfalls, interesting rock formations, and other features that make a backpacking trip more than just a walk in the woods.
