Itinerary:

This event is in the Central timezone, all times listed are in EASTERN!

Join me as I continue south down the Pinhoti Trail in the Talladega National Forest.

This will be a fun, fast, rolling hill hike with typical Pinhoti rocks, creeks and views. This will be a great change of pace hike and quite different from the typical North Georgia hikes. Expect a FAST, pleasant hike with great company and plenty of laughs.

We will be having lunch at an awesome shelter on a beautiful creek.

This is a long, fast, D5 hike, only experienced hikers will be able to join the fun.
