Transportation to FS 42 (Springer Mountain Drop Off)

imported
#1

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a service that can be hired to transport a hiker from close by Helen GA (Hampton Inn) to the FS 42 drop off for Springer Mt. Would like to avoid starting the hike going up Amicalola, since I am a section hiker and want to get as far as possible in a week.

From what I understand that FS 42 road is a bumpy mess, so was hoping someone with a 4x4 runs a transportation service out there.

Thanks

There are several people who provide that service. Here is a link:http://www.appalachiantrail.org/docs/default-document-library/at-shuttles-parking-vandalism-2014-04-18.pdf

The last time I was on FS 42 you did not need a 4X4 but having a car with a bit of clearance was advisable. I drove up in a Chevy Impala.
