Northern Georgia, known for its towering waterfalls and gorgeous rugged mountains, is the adventure traveler’s perfect playground. Cyclists come from all over the country to ride the winding mountain roads and race in the Six Gap Century & Three Gap Fifty bike races. There are more than 11,200 feet of vertical climbing over the 104 mile course with elevations for the six gaps ranging from 1,400 feet to 3,460 feet. Hikers also come from near and far to climb Springer Mountain, the starting point of the Appalachian Trail. Section hiking the Appalachian Trail was the reason for my most recent visit to Northern Georgia.
