The Appalachian Mountain Club just published the 28th edition of the AMC White Mountain Guide, celebrating one-hundred years of the oldest continuously published trail guide in North America, also considered by many to be the bible of hiking in the White Mountains. We'll take a look back at a century of hiking and White Mountain history through the pages of the guide, including historical references to natural disasters such as the hurricanes of 1938 and 1954 and the postponement of trail updates at one point due to a shortage of gasoline and manpower during World War II. We'll also look at the popularity and perils of hiking the Whites...and the problems related to both. John Rudolph guest hosts.
