Itinerary:

Join the AOC for a lovely hike at Sawnee Mountain Preserve in Cumming GA. This is a very nice park: well maintained, free parking, and great facilities. We will meet at the playground area near the restrooms at 2505 Bettis-Tribble Gap Rd. DO NOT GO TO THE VISITOR CENTER OR INDIAN SEATS PARKING AREA. Please arrive in time for introductions and a description of our hike plan by 7:50 am. We will start hiking at 8:00 am. We will take the sidewalk from the parking area into the woods and traverse the mountain using the mountainside trail, the ridgeline trail, and connectors. Our path forms a figure eight. You should expect rocks, roots, and soft forest floor. No water crossings. No dogs allowed. We’re going to church this week. I’ve added the Church trail to the hike. .6 mile in and out with 200 ft of elevation. This is a good week to have sticks if you have them. The Church trail is steep in a short distance. I’ve added a half hour to account for the extra distance and elevation. Distance ~ 7 miles Elevation ~ 1200 + ft Duration ~ 3 hr
