The GiA Loop
(The Get it All GA Loop)
The idea of this loop is to take Brad Goodridge’s version of Georgia Death Loop and add in Springer and Blood Mountain. While this loop is similar to GA Loop, Scoop, and Dumbassery Loops, this loop is 100% on trail, and visits prominent peaks within the area including Springer Mountain, and Blood Mountain.
It maintains a similar course to the traditional GA Loop including use of the old DRT, however after Jarrod Gap along the AT, the route takes a turn onto the Freeman Trail to connect to the AT at the base of Blood Mountain, and makes the southern climb up Blood Mountain ( the steeper side) back to the DRT junction.
The route begins and ends at the stairs at Vogel Park just like the GA Death Loop does. The route should be run in a counter-clockwise fashion similar to GA Death Loop.
Trails include:
Coosa Backcountry Trail
Duncan Ridge Trail
Benton MacKaye Trail
Freeman Trail
Appalachian Trail
