North GA scenic trail rides - my adventures
kvom:
The FS road is maintained from the lodge to the gate for the Hike Inn, as that how the inn gets its supplies. From there to the gap it used not to be maintained at all (lots of low lying branches), but that may have changed in the years since I drove up.
When you get to the point where the AT approach trail crosses the road there is a parallel road to the trail that leads to the top of Frosty Mtn, where ppl often camp. There are the remains of the leg foundations for an old fire tower there. That road is a mild wheeling opportunity possibly needing 4wd or low gear.
At the gap there are two ways to go: right leads down towards Dahlonega, and left towards a smaller highway whose name escapes me. That road used to be very rutted but I believe it's now graded. I'm not sure where there is a gate nowadays, but the straight ahead portion is part of the approach trail and not a FS road. It leads up to Black Mtn and then to Springer Mtn where the AT starts.
The church mentioned above used to have services once a month, according to the sign at the entrance trail. I always said you really had to want to go to church to attend there. It's not a bad place to have lunch as there are tables and a shelter in the churchyard.
