Itinerary: | |||||||
This hike is taking the place of Joyce's normal Monday hike while she is out of town. I hope you can make it. FOUR, FOUR, FOUR FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! Please join me for a hike down Mulberry Creek, over to Morgan Falls Dam, along the Chattahoochee, and back up Mulberry Creek to Hyde Farm. Four great destinations in one hike. What more could you ask for? This will be a 5.2 mile hike that will take about 2 1/4 hours hiking at a moderate pace averaging about 2.7 mph. The total elevation gain will be about 400 feet, made up of several moderate hills. We will make about 16 (I always lose count) stone stepping creek crossings that may get your toes wet if the water is high. Water proof shoes and hiking poles are a plus. The picture above is an example of one of the crossings. In the event the water is too high for safe crossings, I have a alternate route we can take with about the same mileage. I will send out a pre-hike email to registered hikers covering the expected conditions. There are bathrooms at the community center where we will be parking. Parking is free. Please arrive by 9:45 for introductions and a hike description. The hike will start promptly at 10:00. | |||||||
