Five-Star Trails: Knoxville: Your Guide to the Area's Most Beautiful Hikes by Molloy, Johnny. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780897329224.

Lace Up, Grab Your Pack, and Hit the Trails in Knoxville! Knoxville is a hiker’s nirvana, with national, state, and local parks that are home to a network of trails that wind through hilly woodlands, around expansive lakes, and along meandering rivers. And nobody knows this part of Tennessee better than veteran outdoor-adventure author Johnny Molloy. In Five-Star Trails: Knoxville, the description of each hike displays one- to five-star rankings in five categories: Scenery, Difficulty, Trail Condition, Solitude, and Appropriateness for Children. Each entry also includes directions to the trailhead, at-a-glance info, a user-friendly map, GPS coordinates, an elevation profile, and a brief overview. Molloy details easy strolls through urban parks, adventurous treks through the wilds of the Great Smokies, rambles in the deep, dark hollows of the ridge-and-valley country, and everything in between.
