| TiogaBradford | Wonderful in spring.... Date Climbed: May 8, 2010 | |
| Backpacked from Amicalola Falls to the top of Springer, spending one night on the AT Approach Trail. The best part of the hike, in my opinion, was the brilliant green of spring. Absolutely brilliant! | |

| Sarah Simon | North Bound week-long section hike of AT Date Climbed: May 3, 2010 | |
| Sadly, the peak was socked in with clouds this morning. We were heading out after a relaxing night at the Len Foote Inn (4 inches of rain that night!) and enjoyed this peak, even though we couldn't see a darn thing and the humidity was insane. | |

| gabem | Amicalola 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. | ||

| johnmnichols | Welcome to the AT Date Climbed: Mar 12, 2005 | |
| 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. | |
