Our hike will begin on the Byron Reece Trailhead near the
top of Neels Gap, a short distance past Vogel State Park.
This hike will give you a heart-pounding workout on the
steep climb to the summit, but the views are worth every
step. We will climb 1400 feet to reach the highest
Appalachian Trails highest elevation in Georgia of 4459
feet. This weekend in May should be the best time to see
rhododendrons in full bloom on top of the mountain.
