We took full advantage of the last two days staying with our dear friends, EVAN & DIANE PECK. During these two days we HIKED two impressive trails and visited the wonderful MERCIER ORCHARDS as well. The second to last day we hiked to the unique and beautiful SWINGING BRIDGE, an impressive wood and cable system bridge located deep in the mountains. During our final day in north Georgia with the PECK’s we hiked the SPRINGER MOUNTAIN TRAIL, located within the BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS, to the historic southern terminus of the APPALACHIAN NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL, situated at an elevation of 3,782 feet. This impressive, 2,100 mile trail, completed in 1937, runs along the crest of the APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS, through 14 states, from KATAHDIN, MAINE to SPRINGER MOUNTAIN in northern Georgia. The trail was designated the first NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL in the United States in 1968. To completed this leg of our trip at the wonderful MERCIER ORCHARDS. What amazing friends and what an amazing place to visit and explore!!!
