Itinerary:

Come enjoy the beautiful weather and autumn leaves!

Beginning at the trailhead above the falls, we will hike the AT Approach trail for 4 miles. We will turn onto the Len Foote Trail and hike a mile to Len Foote Hike Inn, where we will stop for a break and to eat a snack/lunch. We will return by completing the loop via the Len Foote trail.

The hike is approximately 11 miles round trip with a moderate hiking speed. Fast hikers are welcome, but they should wait for the rest of the group at the junctions. You still have to be in shape to do this hike and the Trip Leader reserve the right to remove anyone from the list who they feel cannot handle it or without recent D4 hiking experience.

This is not a fitness hike. We will be enjoying the beauty around us and stopping for an occasional photograph.

Please bring a snack or light lunch to eat while we're at the Hike Inn.  The Hike Inn usually has some excellent snacks available for a small donation/tip, but not always.

There is a $5 parking fee paid at the gate when you come in to Amicalola State Park.
