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:

Sawnee Mountain Preserve, located in Cumming, GA is named after a local Cherokee Native American, Sawnee. Please join me as we explore the Mountainside, Hilltop, Church and Ridgeline Trails of Sawnee Mountain.  We will start at the Visitor's Center on Spot Rd. and work our way around the mountain.  As I have not hiked these trails before, it will indeed be an exploratory hike!  I plan on covering around 6 to 7 miles going at a moderate pace.

 

Please plan on arriving by 10:45 to enable us to gather and introduce ourselves.  Hike will begin promptly at 11

Dogs are not allowed on these trails.
