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 will be an exploratory hike - an out and back hike from Warwoman Dell to Pinnacle Knob.   Along the way, we will have a view of several waterfalls, hike along the beautiful Martin Creek and make our way up to Pinnacle Knob where we will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the Georgia mountains.  We will take a break to enjoy lunch and then make our way back down.  The falls are said to be captivating and the view from the top one of the best in Georgia!  

If you are driivng straight to the event be at the Warwoman parking lot by 9:45 am so that we can start promptly at 10 am.   If you would like to meet us at Ingles, be sure let Mike or Joyce know to look for you there.

We will park in the first parking lot when we reach Warwoman Dell Recreation Area and follow the Green and Yellow blazes to Pinnacle Knob!
