So, i've always wanted to do this...take the guidebook and make recommendations for hikers as far as places to stay, see, visit, enjoy, and experience...the guidebook is great for all the trail's details, but hopefully i can fill in a little color on what you are about to go thru...

There are many things i didn't highlight, like waterfalls for example...i just assume any waterfall that's less than .5 miles from the trail is mandatory for viewing...these are just my recommendations from my experiences on the trail...the trail is about creating an adventure, so take this knowledge and go create your own!

So here we go:

Mile -8.8   The Approach Trail - I always recommend doing the Approach Trail...while it will be one of the hardest sections of the trip, Amicalola Falls State Park is beautiful and a great place to have your family drop you off and get a feel for the Southern Appalachia...also, the waterfall (and the steps going up it) are breathtaking...if you do the Approach Trail, Black Mountain Shelter is a good day's ending point...
