Book Description:
One cold November night in the Blood Mountain Wilderness in north Georgia, Steve Goodrich and his wife, Ashley, had to wrap themselves around their yellow lab, Rebel, under one sleeping bag. It was the last time they would fail to anticipate their dog's special needs on the trail. Since then, Rebel and the Goodriches have hiked thousands of miles together in Georgia and South Carolina to select the best dog-friendly, dog-fun, and dog-safe trails in the region.

Most hikes are on lightly traveled trails with few horses, bicycles, or motorized vehicles. Hikes avoid steep, rocky terrain and many offer lakes or streams as rewards. Potential dog hazards such as alligators or snakes are noted in the hike descriptions. Advice on hiking with dogs includes what to pack for your pooch--the Ten Canine Essentials and a doggy first-aid kit. A "Hike Summary" chart in the front of the book indicates trail length, water features, loop hikes, whether "best for fit dogs," and more.

Book Description:
Hike longer and deeper into a wilderness of rich history and striking beauty.

*25 treks (multi-day outings averaging 30-50 miles long) in the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Georgia *Three itineraries with camp options for each trek-you choose the miles-per-day distance you travel *All in color: photography, 3-D "real image" topographic maps, trek summary charts, and elevation profiles for each route

Whether it's a 70-mile hike that traverses the crest of the Great Smokies from end to end or a trail in Pisgah National Forest dedicated to a local hiking pioneer, each trek in this guide was chosen for its unique natural features or cultural or historical legacy. Moderate treks stitch together established trails in new ways. More challenging journeys require some cross-country travel and route finding to link one trail with another.

Where treks incorporate classic trails as part of the whole, it's often with a twist. For example, the Iron Mountain Trail and a section of the Appalachian Trail are combined to form the unique Shady Valley Loop, eliminating the need for car shuttling between start and finish. For other treks, optional starts, alternate finishes, and recommended side trips add a wealth of possibility. Always, you choose your pace, with itineraries provided for different mileage-per-day goals. You'll find all the information you need at a glance, too: This guide is chock-full of features including a "Trail Summary and Mileage Estimates" chart listing directions and mileage for each landmark and junction and a "Suggested Camps Based on Different Trekking Itineraries" chart for each trek.
