High Cove Ridge Traverse (GA)

Submitted by Matthew Matta on Fri, 04/19/2024 - 04:50pm
Description

Arguably the most scenic and dramatic ridge traverse in Georgia, High Cove Ridge is in the southern Nantahala Wilderness near the border with North Carolina. It’s remote and mostly off trail, but it’s really the only way to link six of the most difficult Georgia 4000 Footers. The ridge often has steep drop offs on both sides with expansive views through the trees. There is a social trail for much of this ridge as there is often only a very narrow path where foot travel is practical.

Description

The Great California Loop follows three long trails - most of the California section of the Pacific Crest Trail on the east side of the loop, most of the California Coastal Trail to the west, and the majority of Bigfoot Trail to the north. The southern connector option shown has been routed to utilize as much trail as possible without crossing private property (this connection is open-route). Please review all .gpx files attached below for the full route -- we are unable to post all the segments for viewing on the page.

Description

The Spanish Peaks are a pair of prominent mountains that are outliers of the Culebra range in southern Colorado. West Spanish Peak is the most prominent of the two with an elevation of 13,584', this makes it the easternmost mountain over 13,000' in the United States. An interesting geological feature of note is the more than 500 dikes radiating from the mountains, many of which are clearly visible from the summit.
