Springer Mountain and the Appalachian Trail

Find out how Springer Mountain became the Southern Terminus of the Appalachian Trail and some facts about hiking it all the way from Georgia to Maine...or Maine to Georgia...or some other variation.

Learn about the short but memorable hike up to the summit of Springer Mountain that thousands of hopeful thru hikers embark on either from Amicalola Falls or the Springer Mountain Trailhead.

Do you have a story to share about hiking either part of the A.T. or part of it? Drop me an email at [email protected]
