Three of the entries are entirely new. Others have been revised to vary routes described in prior years. Still others have been updated to reflect reroutes, historical research, and more. While some of the circuits are less familiar than others, all comprise a dayhiker's dream book.

Picture of the productHikes in Western Maryland
(5th edition, 2022) The fifth edition of PATC’s guide, Hikes in Western Maryland, is now available from our online store and from some of the outdoor outfitters who carry our products. This book, edited by Judith McGuire with maps by David Pierce, and layout and cover design by Alan Kahan, reflects many hours of hiking, writing, editing, and cartography by PATC volunteers and friends. Western Maryland has an abundance of wonderful hiking trails including day hikes and multi-day backpacking trips, level strolls and demanding climbs, linear hikes and circuits. Many of these trails have historic sites and others allow for a dip in a stream or lake along the way. There are various options for camping along the trails or nearby. Each of the 25 chapters begins with a description of the hike, including the length of the hike and often shorter or longer options, and the WGS84 coordinates for trailhead parking. The descriptions also include information about notable features of the area through which the hike passes and any potentially difficult aspects of the route e.g., stream crossings, steep climbs. This is followed by a turn by turn description of the route. This edition adds three new hikes and eliminates three from the prior edition; changes and updates were made to other hikes.

The fifth edition of this guide is 144 pages and includes 25 maps and 27 photographs

Picture of the productDiary of a Trail
Tom Floyd tells the story of the people who struggled to build the Tuscarora Trail, a 250-mile hiking trail, to serve as backup or replacement for a lengthy section of the Appalachian Trail threatened by encroaching development. With the passage of the National Scenic Trails Act of 1968, the trail had protected status and its continuity was assured; nonetheless, the Keystone Trails Association and the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club determined to complete the work they had begun. This is the story of how the two trails - the Tuscarora Trail in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and the Big Blue Trail in Virginia and West Virginia - became the Tuscarora Trail. Floyd recounts the long quest to this end that began in Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest, and then headed north to the top of Blue Mountain just west of the Susquehanna River and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In the story he tells, no part of planning or building the trail was easy; it entailed long months of scouting, poring over land records, writing letters to landholders and visiting them, seeking informal agreements or donations of lands, rights-of-way, and easements; and sometimes raising money to purchase forestlands, springs, and campsites. The volunteers broke trail, cleared thickets, moved stone, and built and shored up footway through rugged terrain. They built bridges, campsites, and shelters. The work didn't end there; once built, volunteers maintained the trail, rebuilt sections, bought more lands and easements, and rerouted parts of the trail to satisfy changes in landownership. These activities are never ending and continue on today as a renewed interest in the Tuscarora Trail is evident.
