Major Southern metropolitan center, Atlanta, has come a long way in the last century, now a sprawling urban hub home to several universities, an expansive list of cultural sights and a well-rounded range of boutiques, bars and eateries.
This challenging trail follows high, dry ridges for most of
its length. The trail begins on Long Creek near Three Forks
on the Appalachian Trail, goes north, and crosses the Toccoa
River on a 260-foot swinging bridge. The trail then leads
north and west along Duncan Ridge through Mulky Gap to
Slaughter Gap. It includes many steep climbs and descents
over several mountain tops. The trail is blue blazed for all
of this section but also has yellow blazes on the eastern
portion, where the Coosa Backcountry Trail shares the same
treadway and also will have the white diamonds of the
Benton MacKaye Trail from Long Creek Falls for Rhodes
Mountain. About 1.25 miles on the eastern end are within
the Blood Mountain Wilderness. A 60 mile loop trail can
be made by combing this trail with the Appalachian Trail.
