Itinerary:

Join me on this hike at the Sope Creek section of Cochran Shoals where we will hike about 6 miles. There are some nice and well-marked trails in this unit. We will try and visit the mill ruins, they make for some great pictures.

While this isn't a fitness hike, it will be a fast pace. We will keep a steady pace and stop for rest breaks at major intersections or atop some of those crazy hills. I generally like to keep the group together, so I do stop if our group gets spread out too much. I reiterate this isn't a fitness hike, and neither is it a slow paced hike.

We are meeting at the entrance that is along Paper Mill Road. You require 3 dollars cash for a daily park pass if you dont have an annual pass.

If you have any questions please email/call the trip leader.
