The road is fine to walk. I don't think you can drive it now. I have come down off the AT from Bly Gap to this area and it is a nice hike down... BUT Going up would be crazy! The trail is not...
I just completed the GSMNP from Oct 12 -18 2012 and absolutely loved it. Views and fall colors were terrific. Weather was perfect. This was in a 6 day 5 night scenario and time frame. I suggest this...
If you need a shuttle to the Falls or Springer, let me know, my son does them for hikers for a reasonable fee.
Either one of these are fine. Three Forks has more parking and views, but usually crowded. Hightower Gap is fine also.
1) Take Big Creek or Roy roads to Double Gap Rd and hook up with USFS 42 to...
My son lives in Cleveland GA and parks cars at his location ~ then shuttles you to where ever and can pick you up if security is a concern. Email me at [email protected] or call me if interested and I'll...
If you need a shuttle between ATL and the Falls or Springer let me know. I have an answer.
I would say, based on your post, that Windingstar 64 would be the perfect time frame. I am in good shape and workout and I did the GA section in 8 TOUGH days ( and I am not a super fast paced hiker...
It is good 95% of the time. Chances are there will be no issue. However, as others have said, in March around GA it CAN be very wet so this may be that 5% you hit. Bit if it we me, do not worry. And...
If you want an honest answer here it is. Got to invest in quality products if your gonna hike. Years ago when I started, I tried the easy fix stuff only to realize it was a waste of time and $$. Go...
Use Benedryl liquid. Wet wipes may work. I also carry antibiotics just in case. Otherwise there are plenty of water sources along the trail to wash up as needed.
I agree! and Me too!
Great advice! I am the same way. My advice 2= Dump the water, make sure your sugared up (not eaten a heavy meal or full of water), and walk at your pace. I walk slowly trying to not stop but if it is...
12 LBS and....

There are NO issues at all. I just hiked this section last week. You can walk light on the upslopes and refill at almost every gap.
Georgia portion shuttle needed? Contact me as I live in Atlanta area and can get you to the trails from airport and southern points and I have a son in Cleveland Ga where you park Long time or Short...
It was absolutely fine generoll - coming down.... LOVED the AT exit at BLY but........going up - NO WAY! I would start at the FS road at Blue Ridge GAP and do that before I would EVER hike up or at...
Well I just got off it and it was just fine......coming down. I think going up would wear you out. Very scenic and neat to hike, rocky, but coming off the AT here is a great exit point IF you desire....
Do you know something I should know?
Continued from previous post....As for the trail itself, it is not a flat easy hike to the top. After the FS road ends and you are on the hiking trail, it is pretty much straight up the mountain. The...
Awesome! Thanks for the info. JUst an F Y I....I just got this email too for all those that may need the info to consider.
.....You can get to Bly Gap from Shooting Creek, no problem. If you look...
Thanks! What I am after is a pickup point on 64 but am trying to decide if I want to walk on the AT or just stop at Deep GAP and where it is best to do this. Just to confirm, If I walk the AT and...
Just curious, how far is the paved road to 64? And if someone hiked all the way to 64 from Deep GAP NC on the AT, how far is it ? and estimated time from Deep GAP to I think 64 which is Winding...
I second that.....I never sleep with mice tha :) But seriously, do as you please just make sure just try and " leave it as you saw it ".
That is my self disciplining rule which has worked for...
The best for the money and wt.! I use this one and it is so easy to pack up and setup.
