Join the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club for an evening that brings the Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail to life—home to the southern terminus at Springer Mountain, where long-distance dreams take their first steps, and a landscape defined by rolling ridgelines, rich hardwood forests, and a deep culture of stewardship. This is a place where history, community, and wild spaces intersect, shaped by volunteers and hikers who return year after year. This storytelling experience weaves together the origins of the trail, the evolution of its care, and the personal stories that give it meaning. From early trail builders to modern-day maintainers, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the people and places that define Georgia’s stretch of the AT. Whether you’re planning your first hike, training for a through trek, or simply drawn to the spirit of the trail, you’ll leave inspired to connect more deeply with this legendary landscape.
