Itinerary:

We are hiking on the Benton McKaye (and DRT) from Hwy 60 to Wallhallah Mountain and then return to Hwy 60.  This is a total of 4 miles.  We will then cross Hwy 60 to continue the hike to the swinging suspension bridge on the Toccoa River.  We will then return the way we came for a total of 7 miles.  The entire hike is 11 miles.  This is a difficult, strenuous hike.  Elevation gain 3000'.

Hey, if you've not completed a recent AOC D4 or higher, please send the trip leaders information on your recent hiking experiences (trail name, distance, date, pace), this will enable us to ensure group safety.  If I don't get an email from you, I will move you to the waitlist.
