Write Up:
We were grateful for such amazing weather and trail conditions for our hike to Blood Mountain, Slaughter and Coosa loop this past Saturday . Ten weekend warriors showed up well prepared for a long and rewarding training day. Although there were reports of super active yellow jackets and snakes, we did not have any major issues with these. Together from start to finish, our group navigated and completed 20 miles and 5390 ft. elevation gain at a moderate pace. Our cool down on seldomly used Freeman Trail was both demanding and rewarding. Many thanks to all participants that made this event possible and enjoyable! Mara
