I am working on a report and do not have access to the latest data from the ATC. The last data book that I have is dated 2001.

Can anyone please tell me how many miles north of Springer Mountain Rockfish Gap is? It would be great if that information could come from the 2004 Data Book, or a similar reputable source.

Many thanks.

I seem to recall Springer to Rockfish Gap being 843 miles or so (based on last year's stats.) I don't have any reference in front of me, though. But figure 100 miles in the Shenandoahs and then about 50 to Harper's Ferry and you are at the 1000 mile mark, so I am pretty sure 840-850 is the right number for Rockfish Gap.

The 2003 Thru-Hiker's Handbook list it as 846.4 miles.

Check out the following website: www.ragtag.org/atdist.html (http://www.ragtag.org/atdist.html)
It is an on line calculator showing mileage between points on the AT. In this case it shows the distance to be 847.6 miles.
