Additionally, some bed-and-breakfasts and lodges provide a cozy retreat with scenic mountain views, ideal for those seeking a peaceful respite before continuing their journey. With a range of choices from rustic to more luxurious stays, Georgia’s Appalachian Trail lodging ensures hikers have options for rest and recovery along their trek.
