Book – Maine Mountain Guide, 10th Edition

Way back at the beginning of this site I did a post describing the best references for hiking in Maine, in Acadia National Park, and in the White Mountain National Forest.  (You can read that post here.)  The books for Acadia and the White Mountains are still the most current guides, but the AMC just published the Tenth Edition of their Maine Mountain Guide, so this post will update you on what has changed in it.

All of the changes in this latest edition make it much more consistent with the AMC’s White Mountain guide.  Most of these changes make it much better, while one makes for a minor inconvenience.

Books – Hiking Trail Guides

This post will describe the best hiking trail guides that I have found for Acadia National Park in Maine, for the rest of the state of Maine, and for the White Mountains in New Hampshire.  If the hike I write about is listed in one of these guides I will include an Amazon link to the book at the end of the hike’s description.  I already included links to two of these books at the end of the first two hiking posts. 

The three books are A Walk in the Park: Acadia’s Hiking Guide by Tom St. Germain, the Appalachian Mountain Club [AMC] Maine Mountain Guide, and the AMC White Mountain Guide.
