Backpacking Agenda: Woody Gap to Neel’s Gap

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Another quick backpacking trip planned for this weekend. This one’s short and easy… just a quick way to knock out another 10 miles or so of the AT over a weekend. It includes one of my favorite places in GA: Blood Mountain.

Saturday:

  • Park endpoint car at Neel’s Gap (near 34.73480, -83.91800)
  • Park startpoint car at Woody Gap (near 34.67650, -84.00050)
  • Hike 7 miles from Woody Gap
  • Set up camp near Woods Hole Shelter

Sunday:

  • Get up… whenever
  • Hike an easy 3.6 miles from Woods Hole Shelter, up and over Blood Mountain (elevation 4458 ft.), to Neel’s Gap
  • Grab pizza, etc. at Mountain Crossings
  • Head back to Woody Gap to pick up other car
  • Home!
