I will be starting my at journey around mid-march. I will be taking a train from new Hampshire to Atlanta Georgia. I was wondering the cheapest way to get from the train station to the trailhead. Thanks.

wait for hikers and say" i need a ride to springer".they will give you a ride if theirs room in the cab or shuttle and if it lowers their costs. or , bring a cake that is scrumpshus and cant be refused. you might trade some fryed chicken for a ride. get a big bucket of kfc in atlanta and trade it in gainsvill for a ride. duh.

and buy your ticket for gainsville. not atlanta.
I'm not sure if this is the cheapest way but here is a list of possible routes to amicalola falls state park. you could call ahead and compare prices.

DON'T drink the coffee! You'll be hooked. I know....
I think they have deals at that time of the year; also check with Dave at

Dave is planning a thru-hike next year so I don't think he will be available.
Not sure when he is starting though.
