Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Modified hike due to adverse weather conidtions - 10:00 a.m. at 2505 Bettis Tribble Road entrance. We will hike the HIlltop Trail, Mountainside Trail and Ridgeline Trail (skipping the Indian Seats trail - too steep and slippery when wet).  Hiking about two hours and under six miles in total.  I do want to hike today and this seems like the best plan

See you soon

Diana (678-759-9732)

Please join me for a hike at Sawnee Mountain - We will start at the Spot Road visitor's center and climb the Indian Seats Trail (the old trails).  Then head over to the new trails (Ridgeline, Mountainside and Hilltop). Total distance should be about 10 miles.  Time should be about 4 hours.  Hike is not considered FAST, but a moderate pace with adjustment to speed when we hit hills.  There is elevation on this hike and not for beginners.

Classified as a D4 because of distance and elevation. But as stated above we will take it easy on the hills, not rush, enjoy scenery.

Exploratory - I have hiked the NEW trails twice (once as a leader).  I have hiked the Indian Seat Trails 2x but never as a leader.  

Parking is free

Restrooms are available

sorry, no dogs allowed at Sawnee Preserve
