Itinerary:

Last Minute- 17 mile roundtrip dayhike.

Come join us for a challenging dayhike as we hike to Springer Mountain via the Approach Trail. We will start the 8.1 mile trail at the top of Amicalola Falls. There are several steep climbs along the way. We'll take about a 30 min lunch at the top of Springer Mountain near the overlook and check out the camping shelter. Then we will turn back and hike the same trail we came in on. At the trail junction for the Hike Inn trail, we'll hike until we reach the Inn. We will stop at the Inn for a short break before hiking back to the top of the falls parking area.

If you sign up for this event, you will need to have some recent D4/D5 with similiar pace in hiking under your belt. Your TL's may contact you to make sure you have the fitness level to keep up with the group.

Thanks to Paula S. and Bob B. for the picture and hike information.
