The Central Virginia edition covers 226 miles from Waynesboro on I-64 to Pearisburg on the New River, including parts of the George Washington-Jefferson National Forests and the Blue Ridge Parkway, with a separate section on day and loop hikes in one guide and four maps on two sheets.

An easy-to-use elevation profile shows ups and downs and the distance to the next campsite or shelter, side trails and water sources. For added interest, maps indicate federal or state lands, road crossings, waterfalls, and scenic areas.
