Start of the hike

We are driving to Amicalola falls State Park where I'll start the hike in a few hours.
The park is known for it's waterfall. All I had to do is climb over 425 steps to get to the top of the falls and then climb 2000 feet over a distance of 7.5 miles to reach the top of Springer Mt where the actual AT starts. Start of the trail behind the visitors center.

Top of springer mountain sitting next to the bronze plaque that marks the start of the trail.

First night on the mountain, now, only 180 more nights and 4,000,000+ steps to go! Wish me luck.
