Thank you for recommendation. That is what I thought, but wanted to ask. You live in a a great area. Visted Damascus a couple times this summer, i.e., Mt Rogers/GH hike and Creeper Trail to Abington.

Springer to Amicalola will be mainly downhill, so it will be at your leisure

If knees are good, hike down. Approach Trail is no joke.
