from atlanta

what is the best way to get from the atlanta airport to amicolola falls to start my hike. i will be traveling with a young child

[WMR]

"Easiest" is to rent a car and drive. Alternative is to find shuttle driver who picks up at airport and shuttle to AFSP (there are a few on the shuttle driver list for Ga.). Another alternative is take MARTA to end of red or gold line, and shuttle from there.

[Deadeye]

A lot of people are doing a MARTA/Uber combo.

[WMR]

To clarify: for AFSP, the Marta option is the end of the red line (North Springs), and then shuttle or lyft/uber to AFSP

I did the Marta/shuttle; although it's been a few years ago. You can get the Marta right at the airport and it takes you to north Atlanta. The drive through Atlanta is a killer, so this is probably the best way and should be least expensive. Be sure to check Uber and Lyft prices. They might actually be lower than a shuttle.

typical atlanta traffic is nasty, that is why marta is best to north springs

I thought that the rush-hour traffic into Boston was the worst until I hit the morning Atlanta beltway rush-hour traffic! :eek:

I was doing 75, and most of our southern, NASCAR-inspired cousins cars passed me like I was standing still! :D

BTW, go to the WhiteBlaze home page and download the shuttle provider listing. There are several operators that go to the Atlanta airport.

because down south 75 mph is just the "warm up lap."
