Itinerary:

It's time to revisit the Garland Mountain Equestrian/Hiking Trails just a little north of the city in Waleska, GA - - not too far from Rinehardt College. The parking area and trails are maintained by the Cherokee County Saddle Club, where both riders and hikers are welcome.  Because of the equestrian connection, all the trails are named for horse breeds:  Palomino, Sorrel, Dun, Pinto, Chestnut, Dapple Grey, and Roan. Excellent blazes and maps allow for ease of following the trails, so there's no chance of getting lost.

The trails are winding and rolling, but no long, steep climbs.  

After the hike, we'll get our lunches out of the cars and eat in the pavilion just off the parking lot.  Bring your own lunch and if you like, something to share!  

Sorry, no dogs on this hike.  Dogs and horses don't mix well! 

 


Required Items to Bring:

Fluids

Hiking shoes

Lunch (to be left in the car till after the hike) - plus something to share!

 

Recommended Items to Bring:

Hiking poles, if you like to use them

Trail snacks
