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:

This trail is touted as a beautiful trail that runs along side the Chattooga River.

This is a 16.5-mile out-and-back trail near Mountain Rest, South Carolina. I have not done this trail before but from my reading it is a trail that does not pose super elevation change but offers the usual challenges of hiking by a river - maybe some blow downs and some muddy areas etc. The day will give us about 2500 ft of elevation gain  This is a popular trail for backpacking, hiking, and walking, but I expect it will be quiet on a Tuesday in August. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
