Summary: Water Sources???
Comment: I chuckled at Icapote's review of this book. Duh- if you want an index to water sources on the Appalchian Trail, then buy the Appalachian Trail Guides for heaven's sake! This book does not list all the state's trails or water sources, but it is an inexpensive overview of the state's best trails. It's been really useful and informative for me.

Summary: If you want a good guide...look elsewhere
Comment: As I've stated many times, the quality of falcon guidebooks varies immensely. What's more is that even when its from the same author it's inconsistent. Such is the case with this book. The Falcon Guide: Hiking North Carolina (also written by Randy Johnson) is a good book, yet for this book the author has done a very poor job.

The route descriptions are especially lacking in details. As are the trip difficulty scales, not to mention the author completely bypasses mentioning water sources. I don't have any recommendations on general hiking guides to virginia but if the appalchian trail is your cup of tea then look no further than Exploring the Appalachian Trail: The Virginias. That series of books is far more detailed than any of the falcon guides for the area. You'll actually want to take those books to the field because they will do more than just get you to the trailhead and no more like this particular falcon guide does.
