Appalachian Trail, Georgia

Appalachian Trail, Georgia

Appalachian Trail, Georgia

Hikers love the Appalachian Trail in Georgia. Extending 75 miles through the Chattahoochee National Forest, the trail traverses elevations of over 4,000 feet, but guides hikers mostly along ridges at elevations of about 3,000 feet. Although the hiking can be exceptionally challenging with ascents and descents that are sometimes steep, the views make it worth the effort A series of white blazes marking the way indicate that you are on the Appalachian Trail, while blue blazes designate side trails and trails to water. Hikers will find shelters for camping at various points during their trip.

With some very steep climbs, the difficulty of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia should not be underestimated. North Georgia mountain weather is often colder and rainier than the rest of the state. Snow and near-zero temperatures are common from mid-December through mid-March and sub-freezing nights may occur from early October through April. Hikers who start their adventures early in the spring must come prepared to deal with cold weather and freezing rain. No matter what time of year you decide to hike the Appalachian Trail, it is always important to carry rain gear. In dry summers, you should carry enough water for the day. Springs near the shelters are generally reliable but it’s important to come prepared for dry weather, so fill up water bottles whenever you can. It is vital to bring supplies to treat your drinking water. Water should be either filtered through a microporous filter capable of removing Giardia, treated with a chemical purifier (preferably iodine-based), or boiled for several minutes.

Like a boy scout, a good hiker is always prepared, there are bears and wild animals on the trail and it is vital that you store your food and cook in an area that is away from where you set up your sleeping quarters. Hanging food in trees can keep some animals from getting to it.
It is extremely important to use caution from mid October to early January, as it is deer hunting season in North Georgia. (Exact dates vary).. it is strongly recommended that you stay on the trail and wear an orange vest and pack cover.

The Trail’s southern terminus is located atop remote Springer Mountain, near Forest Service Road 42. This area is difficult to reach by automobile. An 8.8 mile blue blazed “approach trail ” begins at Amicalola Falls State Park on GA 52. Outstanding peaks along the Trail include Big Cedar Mountain, Blood Mountain, Cowrock Mountain, Rocky Mountain, and Tray Mountain.
