Springer mountain is the "official" start of the Appalachian trail, although its argued that the arch at amicalola falls is actually the start. Its located in the Chattahoochee national forest in between Elijay and Suches, Blood mountain is located just Southwest of Neals Gap off Hwy 19.
They're 1-3 days apart on the trail.
