Itinerary: | |||||
How about a winter hike at Amicalola Falls? Beginning at the trailhead above the falls, we will hike the Appalacian Trail Approach trail. We will then turn onto the Len Foote Trail and hike about a mile to Len Foote Hike Inn, where we will stop for a break and to eat lunch (BYOL). We will return by completing the loop via the Len Foote trail. The hike is approximately 11 miles and has about 2,300 feet of elevation gain. We will move at a moderate hiking speed with only a few rest breaks. You have to be in shape to do this hike, and the Trip Leaders reserve the right to remove anyone from the list without recent D4 hiking experience. There is a $5 parking fee paid at the gate when you come in to Amicalola State Park. | |||||
