View Full Version : Shuttle: Dick's Creek Gap to Amicalola
My husband and I are looking for a shuttle from Dick's Creek Gap to Amicalola around June 27th/28th. Doing our first section hike and hoping to knock out Georgia that week. Also, anyone know the going rate on shuttles in that area?
:confused:

Re-emphasizing Pete's post. Call Josh at The Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega. www.hikerhostel.com (http://www.hikerhostel.com) Probably about $1 a mile.

how far in advance to you have to make arrangements for a shuttle?
If you start at Standing Indian Campground, you can knock out all of Georgia plus a little of NC.

Most of these folks shuttle on a part time basis and have another primary job. I have been using shuttles (as a solo section hiker) since 2000 and have always booked at least a couple of weeks ahead. You may have to call more then one to find someone to match up to your plans and have a willingness to be flexible.
