Georgia AT Section #5 Neels Gap to Hogpen

We will be hiking the Georgia section of the AT. This hike will start at Neels Gap and cross over to Hogpen Gap.

The people who have been actively hiking on the quest to complete the Georgia AT will be given priority RSVP's... join the Wait List, if there are openings I will allow others to join before the event date.

This hike will be a (6.9) mile This is another one of my favorite parts of the AT in Georgia. This section has several beautiful overlook views.

Dropping out of this event the week of the event will greatly affect your future hikes with me... Do NOT be a NO SHOW on events that people are on the Waiting List wanting to go. It is NOT fair to others for you to hold a spot, then decide you don't want to go for whatever reason.

This will be a VERY difficult hike, even if we go slow. If you are not capable of doing long hikes with elevation gains over 1,300 feet do NOT attempt this trip.

These will be slow hikes ( EXPECT SLOW). Our Goal is to let people that don't get to enjoy the trails, have a chance to get out and see the beauty that we enjoy.

If you are an experienced hiker, I would ask that you keep within the group to help with the new hikers. Tell your stories... talk about gear... help them figure out what it took all of us old timers years to figure out.

Bring a lunch, trail mix, snacks, and PLENTY of water or Gatorade.

Be sure to bring Hiking poles, rain gear just in case it rains never know about the weather

We're meeting at Mansell, to give people a chance to carpool, to save the expense and time. Normally the cost is computed by total mileage of trip, divided by mpg of vehicle driven and then divided between riders. Some clubs use .32 per mile, but regardless it‘s cheaper to carpool than to drive yourself. PLEASE help your driver with gas expenses on the trip. If you want to place yourself in a carpool ahead of meeting, just make a comment on this event web page, and I’m sure one of the driver’s will save a place for you. We’ve never left anyone behind due to lack of carpooling space

Please.... No political, religious or controversial topics during the hike.

Any questions, feel free to make a comment or message me
