South terminus is accessible a couple of different ways, I came from Blue Ridge Georgia which seemed the easiest and Google Maps will take you all the way there. Not far mile wise but will be a slow drive due to hills and curves. Once at the entrance to the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area the gravel road is nearly 8 miles to the top. Be prepared for a slow rough drive and remain alert to the blind curves. There is a parking area on the left and wasn't too crowded when I went. From there follow the path marked on the north end of the parking area, follow the white blaze marks for 1 mile to the top. Very rocky and could be slippery and wet. You'll know when you reach the top. Beautiful view anytime of the year but I imagine it may get busy during fall peak colors and maybe summer....

The hike is not too strenuous, it is about a mile in from the trail head. The road is gravel road so be aware of that, after it rains it gets hard to drive on it unless you have an appropriate vehicle. It’s the start/end of the Appalachian trail so that is cool but the view of the mountains in the summer/spring time is obstructed by the canopy. I will have to come back in the winter months to explore again. The positives are because it’s secluded there aren’t as many folks on the trail and so you can get some peace. Highly recommend it but I gave it 4 stars because of the access and the lack of Mountain View’s. The views in the picture with the uninterrupted views is with the help...

Дерево обуви Аппалачской тропы Жутковатое место почитания тех, кто совершил эпическое путешествие.

На севере Джорджии , недалеко от горы Блад-Маунтин и южной конечной точки Аппалачской тропы длиной более 2000 миль, многие ничего не подозревающие путешественники поражаются странному виду сотен походных ботинок. Обувь можно увидеть висящей на деревьях за пределами Интерпретативного центра Валаси-Йи.

Туманным утром вид всех этих необъяснимо подвешенных ботинок создает зловещую картину и передает предчувствие беспокойства. К удивлению многих людей, высокие ботинки на самом деле являются празднованием завершения одного из самых эпических походов в походе.

Магазин Mountain Crossings находится в каменном здании Информационного центра Walasi-Yi, построенном в 1930-х годах, в самом конце Аппалачской тропы для туристов, путешествующих более чем на 2000 миль на юг — путешествие, которое начинается у горы Катадин в штате Мэн .

Для тех, кто едет на север, этот магазин служит важной остановкой для пополнения запасов и обеспечения продовольствием для похода. Но для путешественников на юг, которые выдержали несколько месяцев пеших походов, вид этого контрольно-пропускного пункта — повод для празднования. Многие делают это, бросая свои ботинки в деревья. Многие также оставляют свои рюкзаки висеть на стенах внутри центра, чтобы пройти последние несколько миль похода без груза.

Многие менее опытные туристы шутят, что ботинки на деревьях принадлежат тем, кто уже сдался к тому времени, как добрался до этого места. Но для тех, кто выдержал 2000-мильное путешествие, эти деревья представляют собой высшее достижение, а их висящие ботинки — свидетельство...
