Ever since the original "slack pack Georgia" operation when to glamor destination and shuttles only for two months out of the year, I've been curious about how things have gone with Top of Georgia Hostel.
Free Shuttles: To & From Top of Georgia to / from both Unicoi Gap(Northbound AT mile 52.6) and Dicks Creek Gap (Northbound AT mile 69.3) for our paid reserved guests. Pickups are "On-Demand" (you call us for pick-up from the gap). Earliest pick-ups at 8:30am & latest at 6pm. Return Trips leave Top of Georgia at 8am and 9am daily for Dicks Creek Gap and 8am to Unicoi.
Free Shuttle: Free Shuttle: To / From the town of Hiawassee, GA - DAILY for our paid guests (the day that you check in). This "town shuttle" leaves Top of Georgia at 4pm daily and picks-up in town (and returns to Top of Georgia) daily at 6:20 at a designated spot in the middle of Hiawassee.
* NOTE: An additional 1pm shuttle run is added to the schedule March 1 to May 1 annually.
Shuttles for a Fee: for BOTH guests and non-guests - ranging as far south as the MARTA "North Springs" Station tram (that goes to/from Atlanta Airport) - to as far north as the Nantahala Outdoors Center. (But NOT between Feb. 15 and May 15).
Anyway, I'm looking at using them for part of a section hike this fall (I've got the time off blocked out even) with my wife and wondered if things were working out well enough for them that they would likely still be around then.
The general rates look good (https://www.topofgeorgiahostel.com/accommodations) but I didn't find the shuttle rates.
But it looked interesting and I was hopeful someone had more information.
Each time we section hike we try something new.
Thanks for any input.
