Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Johns Mountain and Keown Falls are highlights of this hike. If you are interested in completing another section of the Georgia Pinhoti and tired of the ol' out and back, here's your chance. We will shuttle between trailheads to avoid an out and back hike. For that reason we will need at least one volunteer besides myself to leave a car at the other end.

Required Items to Bring:

Your hiking shoes and some water.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
