Hey, I’m Amber.

Mother. Author. Guide.

Rooted in the Southern Appalachian Mountains.

Creating & Living a life of wild-wonder. Join me.

Take a Journey on the Appalachian Trail.

Purchase a copy of my book, co-written with my husband, Joshua Niven.

From beginners to thru-hikers, Discovering the Appalachian Trail has something for anyone that wants a connection with the nation’s longest marked footpath at approximately 2,181 miles. Starting at Springer Mountain in Georgia and finishing far to the north in Maine’s Mount Katahdin, the A.T. crosses 14 states, 6 national parks, and 8 national forests. Let Joshua Niven and Amber Adams guide you across the best trails that the Appalachian Trail has to offer. Complete with full-color photography, you’ll also have hikes suited to every ability, mile-by-mile directional cues, sidebars, and maps.
