Overnighter - Nov 8/9 - AT approach to Springer Mtn

**DaveJohns** · 10-13-2009, 01:02

I will be doing a quick overnight hike from Amicalola Park up the approach trail, camp up by the shelter on Springer Mtn, then back down the next day. Just a gear shakedown run, but should be a nice time to hike.

Anyone care to join me?

You do realize that the shelter is not "on top" of Springer Mountain? It's the Stover Creek shelter.

Um, no, there is a shelter at Springer!!!

My mistake. . . I just read that and should have looked it up first. Can't picture where it could be. It's been a while since I was at Springer.

Yea. That. Its just over 7 miles from the Park to the top of Springer, I was planning on camping by the Springer shelter, then hike back the next morning.

EDIT: havent been in a while? Sounds like a good reason to go!

Well, I haven't been to Springer lately because I'm section hiking north, and have little time for doing the sections I've already done - even if it's been a while. I remember liking that area, but I swear I don't remember a shelter at Springer.

ah well, had to postpone the trip due to RL. Better luck next time, eh?
