gabemAmicalola to Springer and on to the AT.
Date Climbed: Apr 26, 2008

Hiked this early in the morning and unfortunately when I got to the top it was all fogged in. I had camped the night before about a mile and half south on the approach trail that starts at Amicalola Falls. In total, this was an 18 mile day and a little more challenging than I expected with a 40lb pack. There was a really nice gentleman on top that had a register to collect peoples names and provide some great information on the trail. I wish I remembered his name...

Was running out of time (had to head back to the airport), but I really wanted to see the southern end of the AT. Great short hike, can't wait to return for more AT peaks.

Great introduction to the AT. Always fun watching beginning throughhikers with overloaded packs being overly surprised with how much up and down the Georgia AT section has.

I "climbed" Springer (up from FS 42) on a section hike in November 2002. It was cold! Hiked on to Hawk Mountain.

A nice jaunt up the mountain, and a perfect day for it as well. The sky wasn't too overcast, and the weather was nice and cool.

A nice, easy trail to kick off my AT Odyssey. Cool weather and overcast skies made for ideal hiking conditions.

tarolDid the first 16 miles of the AT  Sucess!
Date Climbed: May 4, 2006

Stayed at the Springer Mountain Shelter on the night of May 3rd and then hiked to the top of Springer Mountain on the morning of May 4th. This was the start of a BP trip I did with 8 other women hiking the first 16 miles of the Appalachian Trail. We met several people starting their thru-hike and I enjoyed the many wildflowers in route to the top :)
