Itinerary:

Join me for a hike at the Gold Branch unit in the CRNRA. A good part of the hike will be along the Bull Sluice Lake and the Chattahoochee River. The terrain is rocky/rooty in many places but the elevation changes are not too big. We will hike a little less than 6 miles at a pace of 20-25 mins/mile.

There are no restrooms at this location and parking requires a National Parks pass ($5 daily pass or $40 annual pass or America the Beautiful pass). The parking lot is somewhat small, so budget additional time on weekends to find a spot.

Please arrive 10 mins early for socializing/introductions so that we can start on time.
