Itinerary:

Located north of Atlanta in Cumming, Georgia, Sawnee Mountain Preserve provides visitors with 963 acres of scenic passive space, hiking trails and an interactive Visitor Center.  Let’s meet at the Spot road location in front of the Visitor center and hike about 11 miles of all trails that this beautiful preserve offers with a brisk pace.  The elevation gain is approximately 1600 ft.

Please arrive a few minutes before the start time to check in. 

We will start our hike promptly at 12.30 pm

We will do the Indian Seats loop first, and the new loop second.  

If you need a snack break, you can eat while we are doing the Church trail, and wait when the group is back to finish the hike together.  Although you will not get credit for a D4, we encourage you to join us and test your abilities.

For the safety of the group if I have not hiked with you, I might contact you to make sure that this hike is appropriate for you.
