The Appalachian National Scenic Trail spans fourteen U.S. states during its journey that is long, including Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. It begins at Springer Mountain, Georgia, and follows the ridgeline of the Appalachian Mountains, crossing many of its highest peaks and running with only a few exceptions almost continuously through wilderness before ending at Mount Katahdin, Maine. The trail is currently protected along more than 99% of its course by federal or state land ownership or right-of-way. Annually, more than 4,000 volunteers contribute over 175,000 hours to maintain the trail, an effort coordinated largely by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), assisted by some thirty trail clubs and multiple partnerships.〔 〕 ==Georgia== Counties crossed: Fannin County → Union County → Lumpkin County → White County → Towns County → Habersham County → Rabun County Georgia has of the trail,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate= 2012-04-07 )〕 including the southern terminus at Springer Mountain (elevation ). An approach trail (not part of the AT) begins at the Amicalola Falls State Park visitor center. The approach trail is often littered with items cast aside by overburdened hikers unprepared for the difficulties of the initial hike.

The AT and approach trail are managed and maintained by the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club. : * See: Georgia Peaks on the Appalachian Trail 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Appalachian Trail by state」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
