Absolutely spectacular landscapes

This is an absolutely gorgeous coffee table book featuring a wide variety of scenic landscapes of the Appalachian Trail. The spectacular photos, rich with color, take you on a journey through this beautiful area. Muench's trademark photography of water in motion is awesome. There are peaceful ponds, trickling streams, raging rivers, & cascading waterfalls. Brilliantly colored autumn leaves & fog covered mountains are also in abundance. You also get a close up look at a wide variety of flowers in bloom including iris, trillium, & lady's slippers. There are enchanting lush green forests and towering rocks that stand like huge sculptures in the rugged landscape. There is also an introduction with a history of the Appalachian Trail. Each photo takes an entire page with location information is given below it. Get this book & I promise you won't be disappointed.
