Itinerary: | |||||||
Recently several hikes have been canceled due to rain, but if you're not busy with Mother's Day and want to get out for a good mountain hike, let's do it! Sunday is supposed to be a sunny day. No chance of rain. On this trail, we will cross small streams, traverse mild ridges and hike past hickory, pine and oak trees of North Georgia. We will depart from the carpool location at approximately 8:30 am, and the hike will begin from the trailhead at approximately 9:45am, or so. This is a moderate to difficult hike at a moderate pace, and we will stop at various points along the trail. At the turn from the AT approach trail to the Hike Inn Trail, I want to turn around and go back the way we came. I have not hiked this section of the A.T. in a southern direction and would like to experience that. We will continue back via the A.T. and avoid the typically crowded Len Foote Trail. Once we return to the parking lot, we can venture over to the top of the waterfalls for photos. Thanks to many other trip leaders' descriptions. http://goo.gl/maps/xkOLh (directions from the park-n-ride on Mansell Rd) | |||||||
