Itinerary:

 

OK, I just learned it’s not spelled “DeeTooth”, but D2s … sorry still working on my English.  :) 

Well, I have been asked to lead a few D2 hikes at a leisurely to moderate pace. Hikes which are very suitable for beginners and for fellow AOC friends who want to lose their “winter stiffness” and get ready for some D3s or D4s.

Note: All hikes are rain or shine hikes, i.e. dress appropriately. We will of course not hike if there are thunderstorms likely.


Come join me on the trails at the Gold Branch Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. There are three trails designated red, blue, and yellow. We will walk a loop covering most of these trails. The western part of this loop goes through rolling pine forest. The eastern part goes along the bank of Bull Sluice Lake, formed by the Chattahoochee River behind Morgan Falls Dam.

If you have any questions e-mail the Event Coordinator.
