ギルマー郡のおすすめランニングルート

Beautiful overnight accommodation in the heart of nature. There are 20 bedrooms with bunk beds and a mattress for children. Dinner and breakfast are eaten together. On a guided tour of the house, you'll learn about the building's history, the Japanese-inspired architecture, the environmental awards (e.g., about the composting system with worms), the connection to Len Foote, and the observation deck with astronomical art. After dinner, you can enjoy the game room or attend a lecture. The warm showers are very pleasant after the strenuous climb. It's a shame there are no facilities for day visitors. Lunch packs are available for overnight guests. https://hike-inn.com/ The moderate, five-mile trail starting from the top of Amicalola Falls is among the most popular mountain trails in the North Georgia Blue Ridge. And one of its most beautiful and diverse. The two-to-four hour hike crosses small streams, traverses scenic ridges and ambles through stands of mountain laurel and rhododendron. Backpacker magazine included our trail as one of 36 “Best American Hikes” and our Inn is included on National Geographic Traveler’s “Stay List.”

Only accessible by hike! Information at https://hike-inn.com/

The waterfalls are really something special. The flowing water over the various rock cascades is particularly impressive from below. But the view from above (Top of the Falls) is also recommended. If you want to give your legs a bit of a workout, you can climb a total of 600 steps (first 175 and then another 425) from the foot of the falls to the top.

The A.T. Approach Trail does not lead directly over the mountain, but along its western slope. There is a water source at the point marked here.

Springer Mountain is essentially a small rocky plateau with a few views, known for being the southern end of the Appalachian Trail. The trail from Amicalola Falls State Park is beautiful. Camping is not permitted on the summit plateau, but the Springer Mountain Shelter is just 600 feet to the north.

The Long Branch Loop in Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest is a trail that creates a short loop on both sides of the Long Branch waterway. A connector trail on the northern side of the loop gives you access to trails that offer views of Lake Blue Ridge. This is a great, short trail for beginner riders or just something fun to tack onto a longer ride.

There are a bunch of short bridges that cross some streams in this area. This section of the Appalachian Trail is really well kept with some trailside campsites and a nearby shelter. Be ready to see other trail users while out running on this trail.

The Appalachian Trail and Benton McKaye Trail intersect here, in a beautiful section of trail that occasionally opens up to provide dramatic views of the surrounding mountains.
