This is a negative mile because the Appalachian Trail truly begins on Springer Mountain, which is 8.5 miles from Amicalola Falls State Park. In order to get to Springer Mountain, hikers must take the "Approach Trail" beginning in Amicalola Falls State Park to Springer Mountain. Once atop Springer Mountain, their thru-hike officially begins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/e4f1ff57-7f80-4300-a516-d84becb70110/AT-2.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Amicalola Falls — Amicalola Falls State Park — Georgia — mile -7.6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/20953f1b-73c5-4008-bc36-57ced229ba9f/AT-3.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 "A Footpath for Those who seek Fellowship with the Wilderness."

A Cherokee legend about Lovers Leap says that Chief Lone Wolf who ruled the Tahkiostie River (French Broad River) had a daughter, Mist-on-the-Mountain. He arranged for her to marry an old, powerful man named Tall Pine, but she fell in love with a young, handsome visitor to her village named Magwa. She and Magwa arranged to meet on the rock outcrop overlooking the river, but Tall Pine followed them. In the ensuing conflict, Tall Pine struck and killed Magwa. Mist-on-the-Mountain ran, but Tall Pine trapped her. She then heard Magwa's spirit call to her and she leapt from the cliff into the river. Before Tall Pine could escape he was attacked and killed by a panther. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/470d320a-105b-43de-849d-b4610e2bdfed/0083-4.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Shoes — Allen Gap — Tennessee — mile 289.7 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/d12b4a56-1662-4443-b3a1-d4a430034613/0084-2.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Wanderer applying balm to his feet — Tennessee — mile 292.4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/81f632d0-358b-48e0-8805-194b6d02ce5d/Croc+Pot.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Croc Pot — Tennessee — Mile 330.8 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/26c569f3-4f5a-49ac-a92c-a072cf901272/0084-9.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Dough Boy — Cherry Gap Shelter — Tennessee — mile 361.4 — This interesting character was attempting to hike the entire Appalachian Trail wearing his grandfather's uniform from World War II. Earl Shaffer, the first recognized person to hike the entire Appalachian Trail in a single year, came home from World War II and said that he wanted to walk the war out of him. Before the war began, Earl and his friend, Walter Winemiller, had dreamt of hiking the trail together, but then the great war came and they both enlisted. Walter gave his life in service of the country. Upon returning home, Shaffer went on to hike the trail, a feat that was considered impossible at that time, and he photographed his journey along the way to prove he completed the trek. When I met Dough Boy on the trail, I earnestly wondered if this was the ghost of Walter Winemiller that had come to meet me on my journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/162f4c94-7f35-47da-9fd5-43277e96c3be/0084-11.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Rain and Fog — Tennessee — mile 365.9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/6f8f8405-7b79-4871-8cf6-7c69b2169248/016.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Crazy Larry - Crazy Larry's Hiker Hostel - Damascus, Virginia - mile 471.1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/5f0ba2f1-6d94-4161-9d21-4d1d4089e7ef/017.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Bear Claw - Crazy Larry's Hiker Hostel - Damascus, Virginia - mile 471.1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f46fe5f652ad714bcb8b62/7b7e1c5b-839f-4812-bba4-b886889b426d/018.jpg Peaks and Valleys #2 Standing atop Buzzard Rock viewing the Summit of Whitetop Mountain - Virginia - mile 491.5.
