Day Hikes on the A.T.- Reports w/pictures.
One of the most popular trails in the U.S., The Appalachian Trail traverses more than two thousand miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mt. Katahdin in Maine. We often hike on the Georgia and North Carolina sections of the trail. Chris Bagby, a Toccoa, GA native, has hiked the complete trai for each of the past three years. He has a day-by-day account of his year 2000 and 2001 hikes on his journal sites, which you can click at the bottom of this page.
