Six Gap of North Georgia


     This challenging and breathtaking route will take you on a rollercoaster ride of peaks and valleys. The Gaps has sections with sustained grades of 9 to 12 percent, so be ready for some serious climbing. As the ride progresses don’t forget to pay attention to your surroundings, as you will be experiencing some of the most stunning landscapes. The entire loop including the short 3 mile US 129 connector is 77 miles long. The southern loop is 35 miles and the northern loop is 38 miles. Each of the six segments includes crossing through a mountain “gap” or low pass, hence the name Six Gap. Four of these gaps are at points where the Appalachian Trail crosses the roadway.



Woody’s Gap - will reward your hard day’s efforts with a long and scenic descent.



    The Six Gaps is a tough but fun ride and is one of my personal favorites -- take on the challenge and you won’t be disappointed.
Location: Dahlonega, GA 30533, USA
