Guiding the reader on five popular driving tours and five key hiking trails, this nontechnical guidebook indicates not-to-be-missed points of interest and describes the geological evolution associated with them. Tour maps are complemented by annotated road log commentaries and copious drawings and photographs to aid in identifying geological phenomena even when these are obscured by the mountains’ lush vegetation. A helpful introduction, focusing on the geologic history of the Smokies, illuminates basic terms and concepts, while a glossary, list of suggested readings, and detailed index further enhance the book’s utility. Unique in providing a crisp, comprehensive summary of the Smoky Mountains’ geology, A Roadside Guide serves as a basic planning guide for scenic road trips and hiking trips in the Smokies.
