Itinerary: | |||||||
Trying to squeeze a little more mileage out of this one. We'll do a figure 8 and utilize the Yucca trail. We will do the Yucca trail twice and it will add about 6/10ths of a mile on to the hike. We'll make a large figure 8 and along they way we'll stop at both mine shafts and spend a few minutes at the top admiring the awesome view. We will take the steeper way up and plan on taking very few breaks (if any) throughout the hike. We will depart at 11:30am sharp. Please make sure you arrive a few minutes early to check in. We won't wait. Located north of Atlanta in Cumming, Georgia, Sawnee Mountain Preserve provides visitors with 963 acres of scenic passive space, hiking trails and an interactive Visitor Center. The Visitor Center serves as the administrative home for the Outdoor Division of Forsyth County Parks and Recreation. There are two visitor's centers, please meet at the Spot Road one.
