@stabenn witnesses a couple thru-hikers pass through the arch to start off on their grand adventures!

Saw two #thruhikers off on their incredible #journey this morning, and several others are following later today. This photo is of Laugh Tracks walking through the arch and starting her hike. She completed the PCT last year and is doing the AT this year. #AppalachianTrail #AppalachianTrials #approach #trail #hike #hikers #footpath #AT #ATKO #ATKO2015 #AT2015 #classof2015

@tndirtbag adds to our collection of amazing shots from Blood Mountain.

From the top of Blood Mountain. Alot of people kept talking about how difficult a climb this was going to be. I didn’t think it was that bad. It was a little icy & snowy but that just made for some amazing scenery. The hardest part for me was the wind & the cold. In the short time i had to take my gloves off to work the camera i thought the wind had frozen off my middle finger… Drivers everywhere will be happy to hear though, i saved my middle finger & it now works just fine! #bloodmountain #georgia #appalachiantrail #at2015 #appalachiantrials #nationalscenictrail #backpacking #hiking #blueridgemoments #hyperlitemountaingear #neverstopexploring #bpmag #takemebackpacking #rei1440project #funhogging

And @fly522 humbly reminds us all that maybe the snow down south isn’t really so bad.

Don’t worry Nobos…this will all be melted by the time you get here. Well, mostly melted, maybe.
