In spring 2010, my new book, the 1st edition of Moon Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains, will be published by Avalon Travel. The book will be part of Avalon’s popular Moon Handbook series and will cover the best of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, and surrounding areas. Get my personal recommendations on what to see, where to hike, what to eat, and where to sleep.

If you’d like to order the book, you can do so on the Moon Handbook web site, or you can pick up a copy at your favorite bookstore or online retailer beginning in April 2010. I’ll also be selling copies right here on this web site starting next spring, so be sure to check back.

For some insider tips on where to go and what to see in the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains (and a lot of details you won’t find in the book), check out my travel blog.

In my travels through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I've made several video tours for mobile devices. My latest tour travels Newfound Gap Road, and tours the Mountain Farm Museum, Mingus Mill, Clingman's Dome, Newfound Gap, Chimneys & Little Pigeon River with stops at scenic overlooks along the way. Purchase these guided video tours of the Smokies and play them before or while you are touring.
