A.T. Series 2025-Bly Gap to Blue Ridge Gap

This hike was originally advertised as “Bly Gap to Blue Ridge Gap.” However, because of the long would-be shuttle and strenuous hike up to Bly from the NC side, the more practical way to hike this section is an out-and-back starting at Blue Ridge Gap, have lunch at Bly, and return to Blue Ridge Gap for a total of about 6.0 miles. This is one of the most civil sections of the AT in GA – nothing really steep or technical. The steepest part is the first half mile or so from Blue Ridge Gap; but what do you expect when starting at a gap? Effort wise, on a scale of 1 – 5 I I would call this one a solid 3 if you are in good hiking condition.

We will be hiking at a moderate pace, so please don’t use this hike to get in shape for your next cross country race. We are doing this for our enjoyment of nature and camaraderie.
