The mountain bike trail guru who wrote the very first guidebook for the Southeast presents essential trail information to match the evolution of the sport. Recommended rides are grouped according to established trail systems within Tennessee and Georgia with full color maps and photos, GPS coordinates, important route details, and driving directions to every trailhead. It’s all the information you need to make the most of off-road cycling in north Georgia and southeast Tennessee, including the Atlanta and Chattanooga metro areas. Covers 128 routes over 1200 miles of mountain bike trails.

As someone who has been riding and maintaining the trails of north Georgia since the 1980s, I began using Jim Parham’s Georgia guidebook when it was first published in 1993. It put our region on the map. With Mountain Bike Trails: North Georgia Mountains, Southeast Tennessee it’s clear Jim is still on the cutting edge of the sport. Trust this book to put you on the right track.
