Getting from ATL airport to AT

#1

I recently started hiking the AT and wanted to share how I got to the AT from the ATL airport. The only “logistics” I had to figure out was getting from the ATL airport to the trailhead. I found this service called ThumbRides (which is pretty much bringing back the modern day hitchhiker is an awesome way). I got a ride with a couple heading to North Georgia from ATL for $7. It helped me a lot and was convenient and cheap. Definitely wanted to share this with any other hikers facing this common challenge of access. Again, it’s called ThumbRides (thumbrides.com). Good luck and happy adventures!

Thank you for this information. I was going to do some research on this and know I’m all set. I do have one more question I need help with and maybe you can help. I need to find a ride to the gap so I can by pass the approach trail. If anyone has experience with this please share.
