I bought the Kindle version of this after checking out the actual book at the library. The book has elevation profiles of the trails the Kindle version does not. The book has a chart for the trails that show level of difficulty that the Kindle version does not. The author listed at the bottom of that chart his favorite hikes and that too is missing. The book also has a nice Hikers checklist for planning based on day trips or overnights that is missing in Appendix C. Looks like book was scanned and anything complex was left out. Maps are also fuzzy. Not the brilliant book you would expect in digital format.
The book itself is a great guide it has put me on some new trails that I might not have hiked. The author does well to explain the trails and let you know the ones that are not worth your time. The 4 stars I give to the book not the Kindle version the material left out is very important especially elevation profiles.

I used this book in tandem with a 2 nd book "100 hikes in Smoky Mountains National Park. This book has glossy pages and some nice pics. I used it also with the Nat Geo map. Great planning resource. As a general tip, I would also look at other books too as I found other hikes not mentioned in this book.

This book has given me all the information possible for a wonderful hiking experience. It will become my diary also, placing the dates on each hike taken! Even has the GPS coordinates to find the parking lot / trail head. Wonderful book!!

Great book, good read, excellent maps. Falcon guides make the best guide books hands down. Liked this one so much already ordered my second book a day later.
