Hiking & Backpacking near Montebello
Appalachian Trail		AT Day Hikes
Each year hundreds of AT thru hikers visit the Dutch Haus. About 800 miles from Springer Mountain, Georgia and 1,400 miles from Katahdin, Maine, we feed, shelter, and encourage those making the five to six month journey. We are located less than three miles from the Trail. From day hikes, to slack packing, to section hikers we can accommodate your needs and help you plan your trip, if needed.		Fish Hatchery Road to the Tye River (10 miles) Not only pass through the Priest, the highest mountain in the area, but scramble up Spy Rock for a 360 degree view, one of the best in the area.
AT Thru Hikers Note We can arrange shuttles, provide you with slack packing options from the James River to Rockfish Gap, service as your mail drop, provide you with laundry service and internet connection.
