In the eight states in which the Southern Appalachians lie are 54 federal wilderness areas. The wildest of the region's wild lands, these areas are protected from timber cutting, road building and development, and all are open to nature lovers.
Journalist Jack Horan explored every federal wilderness in the mountains of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia to gather the vital information about each. But Where Nature Reigns offers much more than essential facts about these wild places. It also provides an appreciation of the special beauties and wonders of wilderness. Whether you are a wilderness adventurer or an armchair traveler, this book is for you.
