Itinerary:
 

OK, my friends and fellow hikers.  We did the” Six at Six O’clock”  D2 hikes.  What’s next? Yes, you are right, “Five at Five O’ clock”. These hikes will be D3 hikes, meaning we’ll most probably do some rock scrambling or narrow path traversing depending on the terrain.  No worries, it won’t be too difficult.


Come and join me on the trails at Johnson Ferry, North - Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. Johnson Ferry is maybe one of the least known trails at the Chattahoochee. We will hike through the woods and along the river ... to the Bull Sluice Lake ... as well as off the river crossing several small creeks. 

This is a rain, shine, or snow hike (except under extreme thunder storm warning).

If you have any questions e-mail the Event Coordinator.
