  MarcusJ replied to the thread Bike rental in Ponferrada.
  
  We rented four e-bikes from El Camino a Pedales. The bikes were in good shape and worked well for our five day Camino from Ponferrada to Santiago. Highly recommended.

  There is one unique overnight experience near the Georgia beginning of the AT, and it is about a 5-mile hike to get there from Amicalola State Park. It is called the Len Foote Hike Inn and offers small basic rooms with bunks for 2 or 4 persons...
