UNITED STATES - GEORGIA - Appalachian Trail - Appalachian Trail in the State of Georgia (complete itinerary)
⇒ Link to the following section: UNITED STATES - NORTH CAROLINA - Appalachian Trail in North Carolina - Great Smoky Mountains (complete itinerary)
Complete route, from south to north, through the southernmost section of the Appalachian Trail , in the state of Georgia (United States).
The Appalachian Trail covers a total of approximately 2,108.4 miles (3,500 km), between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine, and runs through 14 states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
On this very long journey, the AT as a whole passes through 6 national parks: Great Smoky Mountains National Park , Blue Ridge Parkway , Shenandoah National Park , Harpers Ferry National Historical Park , Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park , as well as 8 national forests, 2 large wildlife refuge areas and numerous state parks.
The exact length of the trail changes frequently, as itineraries are revised each year and some improvements are made to the routing of the route, which can also alter the total mileage (99% of the current AT route has been relocated or reconstructed ever since the trail's creation in 1937).
Although it is estimated that between two and three million "hikers" cover some part of this impressive trail every year, from 1936 to March 2021, only 21,553 people had registered completing the entire trail (1,128 in 2018). and are recognized and registered in the 2,000-Miler Listing .
Most hikers do this south-to-north (NOBO) hike, beginning on Springer Mountain, Georgia, in late winter, and a smaller percentage hike north-to-south (SOBO), starting at Mount Katahdin, Maine ). In both cases, for a complete and direct route of the path, between 4 and 7 months are needed, approximately.
Many hikers who do not have such an extensive period of free time, make the journey "by sections", or in the "Flip flop" modality, with a more or less long duration depending on the availability of each one.
In our case, we have chosen to walk the Appalachian Trail by sections, using a total of 192 days of walking , which has allowed us to know this itinerary inch by inch (step by step) during the four seasons of the year, documenting and recording with GPS each stage and obtaining more than 12,000 photographs.
The section referred to in this route corresponds to the first 9 days of walking through the State of Georgia, with the added supplement of the approach stage from Amicalola Falls to Springer Mountain, where the starting point or kilometer zero of the trail is located. , and with a small final segment that runs through the State of North Carolina (North Carolina), which connects with stage 10 .

In this compilation we have made some corrections and rectified some GPS and altimeter failures, which we had not been able to do in the individual detail of each day, so that in some way, the route presented is more precise than the one shown by each one of them. the stages separately.
The route of this section of the AT through Georgia was carried out during the months of January to March 2016, with the typical winter weather conditions: temperatures below zero and some accumulated snow, especially on the slopes and other shaded areas of the route, which made it necessary to use microspikes on some icy sections.

El mejor sendero del mundo :-) El paso por Georgia es precioso, incluso en invierno
Espectacular trabajo de Pablo , como TODOS los suyos, muchas gracias por tu esfuerzo y dedicación en compartir esos senderos desconocidos en EEUU para los españoles.
Hola Pablo estoy pensando en hacer este tramo durante el mes de agosto y quería preguntarte si hay algún tipo de transporte para ir al inicio y al final. Muchas gracias por el track y los detalles!!
Hola, gtorregorsag.
En general, el único transporte que se puede encontrar en casi todo el AT es el servicio que prestan los shuttles privados. Dependiendo de cada estado y cada población, podrás encontrar más o menos servicios de este tipo.
En esta página del AT Conservancy, podrás encontrar algunas recomendaciones de interés en relación con el tema del transporte, https://appalachiantrail.org/explore/plan-and-prepare/transportation-options/ y también en esta página del AT Club Georgia https://www.georgia-atclub.org/
Los Club AT de cada estado, como este de Georgia, suelen ser muy eficaces y brindar información puntual y actualizada. Si les escribes es casi seguro que te responderán rápido y con buenas recomendaciones.
Te envío también estos enlaces que pueden resultar muy útiles.

Un gran abrazo, y que disfrutes de este maravilloso sendero.
Muchas gracias por responder con tanto detalle!! Solo una cosa más, la comida la cargaste para los 9 días desde el principio??
Un abrazo y un placer encontrar gente como tú con tanto entusiasmo!!
Hola, gtorregrosag.
No. Cargar tanta comida supondría un peso excesivo.
Tienes que ver los puntos de avituallamiento y calcular bien las etapas.
Así de memoria, recuerdo que el principal punto de avituallamiento en las primeras etapas de Georgia estaba al final de la etapa 4, en el Walasi-Yi Center, en donde incluso se puede conseguir alojamiento.
También es muy bueno el punto de avituallamiento de Nantahala River, Wesser, NC, pero ese es ya en North Carolina.
Si puedes, intenta conseguir ese libro:
https://www.amazon.es/Appalachian-Trail-Thru-Hikers-Companion-2023/dp/1944958339
En el se detalla, milla a milla, y bastante actualizados, los puntos de mayor interés de cada zona, lugares de avituallamiento, etc., pero si sólo piensas hacer el recorrido por Georgia, tal vez con reponer provisiones en Walasi-Yi Center sea suficiente.
Un gran abrazo
