Hiker Hostel - March 29-30


We stayed at the Hiker Hostel, run by 2 former thru-hikers, on March 29th. They picked us up at the end of the train line from Atlanta, and drove us to the hiker hostel in Dahlongea. In the morning, they shuttled us to Amicalola Falls on 3/30. We started the hike with 3 others: Freeway, the Milkman, and Griz (Mel).


It's a 9 mile hike up Springer Mtn to the terminus of the AT. It turns out that you can drive almost to the top, but we wanted to hike the approach trail. We stayed at the Springer Mtn shelter Wednesday night, and officially started getting AT mileage the next day.
The official terminus of the AT at Springer Mountain, GA.
