Hike the Wagon Train Trail to Brasstown Bald ( No Carpool) !

The wagon TrainTrail follows an old roadbed that was abandoned back some time ago. It is one of the least strenuous of the big 3 trails that leads to Brasstown Bald, which is the tallest mountain in Georgia - 4784 ft. Our hike will began at the trail head of the Wagon Train. We hike approximately 6 miles to the bottom of Brasstown Bald and will have access to bathrooms at that time. We will then take the paved walk way up for .6 miles to the summit. Once we reach the observation deck, we will take our lunch break and enjoy the 360 views of 4 states. After lunch we will re- trace our steps back to our cars. This hike has approximately around 3000 feet in mountain travel. I will like to see hikers who had recently done high D4 and D5s with the A.O.C.
