About

Whether you’re planning your first day hike or preparing for an extended section or thru-hike, the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club can help. They offer resources such as a trail guide, maps, and alerts to help you plan your hike. The club also hosts various events throughout the year, including National Trails Day, to promote the trail and encourage people to get involved. The Appalachian Trail in Georgia is a beautiful and unique place to hike, with many scenic views and interesting features along the way.
