I live in Utah and am going to Georgia in May to visit family and section hike the Georgia portion of the AT while I’m there. In planning, I’m wondering what is the better option, going nobo or sobo. I’m planning on 7 days but hoping to complete it in 5 or 6. My goal is to complete the Georgia section and not so much to just “enjoy time away from civilization” or “learn about myself” lol… I’m also wondering if anyone has any advice on water sources, trail conditions and points to camp along the way. I do a lot of backpacking, both solo and with groups, here in Utah as well as other outdoor activities but have never backpacked, or really hiked, down south and most trip reports I read about Georgia are of people talking about how difficult it is. Any info and/or advice would be awesome!!! Thank y’all so much!
