Just one night! Thats right. Just one night on the Appalachian Trail. Can you do it?
People travel from all over the world to hike the Appalachian Trail. Some attempt thru hikes, where others spend years doing the trail in sections. Breaking the 2,000+ mile into sections allows you to tackle the milage at a slower pace, hike during warmer weather and the flexibility to hit the trail.
WILD will be hitting the trail for another section hike of the Appalachian Trail - this time starting at Woody Gap and traversing just 10 miles of this scenic trail, conquering Blood Mountain - which is the highest point on the AT in the state of Georgia!
On the first day of our trip we will start our hike at Woody Gap, hiking up for incredible views at Preachers Rock, crossing streams and ending our day just over 7 miles.
Day 2 we will wake up, pack up and hit the trail, as we hike to the top of Blood Mountain - for incredible views and a historical shelter. After enjoying a break on the top of Blood, we will continue our trip down the trail, past balancing rock and to the infamous Neels Gap - where we can grab some lunch and do a little shopping before heading home!
