I am going to Helen for Oktoberfest next week. I plan on hiking from Hog Pen Gap to Neals Gap on Saturday. I am getting dropped off Sat morning and it is just under a 7 mile hike. I think I am going to only take a day pack with the basics for the trip. My ride is due at noon at Neals gap. Anyway any suggestions first time hiking anywhere north of the Pinhoti.

You'll find the AT through the North Georgia mountains have lots of ups and downs. I have a few trail journals listed somewhere on this site which will let you know my thoughts of that section.

Here's a link. http://www.alatrails.com/...tent/unicoi-gap-neels-gap

"It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it while you can, while it is still there. So go out there and hunt and fish and mess around.  Ramble out yonder, explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air. Sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space.  I promise you this one sweet victory, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by calculators. : you will outlive the bastards."
