Level up invitations to d3 hikers who want to complete their first d4. Also options for d4 hikers who would like to complete a d5. The event is 10 miles (d4), and for those who would like the d5 allow an extra 1 and 1/2 hours to complete another  4 miles with elevation. Those who stay for the d5 option will complete the new trail again. In either case, everyone is going to have fun and feel accomplished at the end of the hike whether it is the d4 or d5 hike!!!  

4075 Spot Rd, Cumming, GA30040

 Adventure Sunday starts with a morning hike at the Suwannee Mountain Preserve. For those who have not been to this trail before, it is beautiful. The Suwannee Mountain Preserve is close to Atlanta and located in Cumming Georgia. The trail has two main sections: one that starts at Spot Rd and another that starts at Bettis Tribble Gap.  For the hike on Sunday, plan to hike 10 miles of trail that covers both sections.  (D5 option complete new trail system again at the end of the d4 hike).

 The trail is gorgeous with many interesting sights to see including, the Indian seats, tree house, Yucca trail, and other interesting sights. The hike will start at the visitor’s center where we make our way down to the new trail system, for the orange, yellow and green trails to see the church,  egg art at the church and nature for the first 5 miles.  Next, we head back down and cross the road to the other part of our hike at Suwannee Mountain. We will cover around 5 miles of the trails around the mountain to the Indian Seats, summit, tree house and other interesting sights on the trails.

 The hike is a 10 mile/ D4, but it will be a fast pace with a few short breaks in moderate elevations.  We will begin our hike at 10 am and plan to be finished at 2:00pm (3:30 pm for the d5 option).

It is going to be fun,  and it is a great trail!

I look forward to hiking with you   and will meet you at the visitor’s center at 4075 Spot Rd, Cumming, Ga30040
