About The Mountains-to-Sea Trail Across North

Product Description The Mountains-to-Sea Trail shows off the most spectacular, historic and quirky elements of the North Carolina landscape. Stretching one thousand miles from Clingmans Dome in the Smokies to Jockey's Ridge State Park in the Outer Banks, the route takes in Fraser fir trees and pelicans, old grist and textile mills, working cotton and tobacco farms, Revolutionary War sites and two British cemeteries complete with Union Jacks. The trail is half on footpaths and half on back roads, offering experiences not only in nature but also in small towns, at historic monuments, in family cemeteries and in local shops. Author Danny Bernstein has taken it all in and shares her knowledge for those who might follow in her footsteps.

It's a travel book.This will find its place among the front ranks of books depicting outdoor life and travel in North Carolina.                 George Ellison, Blue Ridge Nature Journal  More than an excellent travelogue, this book offers much useful information for anyone contemplating a walk on the MST.
