Not exactly off-trail, but I would definitely set out a nice chunk of time to enjoy the view from Big Cedar Mt. Absolutely majestic. Only suffers in comparison to the NH and ME. I think because it is the first "big" view on the trail it tends to get forgotten.

Well, you could build one in the parking lot flower beds but I don't think they'd appreciate it.
You never turned around to see the frowns

When they all did tricks for you.
Don't miss the climb out of Stecoah Gap and the next one just north of that.
Stecoah Gap is in NC.

Well, since he's going to be so close.....
If you are into large water falls then start on the approach trail to see Amicalola Falls.
I'm guessing that the OP has already done his hike (posted Sept. of '10), but since it's back up, I'll say that I had a nice stay just north of Neel Gap at a nice flat spot in a high gap (forgot the name). The site's suitable for quite a few campers if money's too tight to stay at the outfitters.

Er........make that her (just viewed public profile) hike.

That's pretty funny.
You could build it next to the ripped up backpack on the porch that was there in the fall, to illustrate the hungry bears around.
leaving in the morning from coopers gap to hogpen gap
GOD, FAMILY,HEALTH.............(in that order)
Guess this is a reference to the restrooms? Was there in the fall and didn't notice no stank...
Keep the suggestions coming, I'm planning a 5 day hike south bound, with two other hikers. We live Georgia, usually hike out of the approach trail.Looking for some unforgettable sites.Haven't fully decided where to start yet.Oh and departer date is leap day, the no day
You might want to start a new thread regarding your hike. This might get buried when folks notice the the OP's post is waaaaaaay old.

I went pumpkin bowling in that flower bed!
There is a place out back where they have been known to get a fire going and sometimes a drum circle.
---Where ever you go
There you are---
Blood Mountain, suprised that hasn't made the list although it is not a side trip. Cow Rock is the flat rocker Tinker is talking about (I think). A good side trip if you don't mind a bit of a bushwhack is to drop down to Raven Cliff Falls. Drop down out of Whitly Gap (?) and pick up the Dodd Creek Trail. This brings you in at the top of the falls and it is not a bad hike.
I love really old cemeteries! I also can't stand it when my hiking partners want to make a be line from point A to B without even enjoying the scenery! That is exactly why I do many of my solo hikes alone. I have hiked most of the BMT through GA but I have only completed the AT approach trail to the top of Springer so I can't offer any suggestions but there is some beautiful wilderness in GA.
Preaching Rock after you leave Woody Gap is spectacular.....mile 21.8.
Planning on doing a three night hike in Georgia in June. I would love to get suggestions on the where to start. We don't have to start at Springer, so what is your recommendation on the best 3 night section in Georgia.
Thanks,
