High Cove Ridge Traverse (GA)
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.
