Itinerary:

No Carpool...Starting at Vogel State Park, hiking counter clockwise, our trail will carry the group into The Burnett Gap. We will then hike into the low area of Sosebee Creek Valley where we will cross the foot bridge just before Wolf Creek Road. Next we will have some steady climbs that will bring us to Calf Stomp Gap . We will have our proposed break just before it summits Coosa Bald (4280ft). After the break we climb to Coosa - where we will have our earned lunch break! After lunch we go back down, where we finish up the loop on a dirt two track, no gravel. The loop will finish back to Vogel State Park. Have some experience with some D3 and some 4s hikes please. Parking fee 5.00$ or your annual pass. Bathrooms are available.
