Itinerary:
DOUBLE HEADER -  Please join me for a hike at Pine Log Creek Trail.  AND only 12 minutes down the road is Garland Mountain Trails - register for one or both!!!! see Garland Mountain Posting at 11:45
 
Pine Log Creek Trail - Moderate difficulty, but with a couple of challenging hills; moderate pace (not my super fast pace) -  Our hike is comprised of two loops, east and west.  This trail winds up and down through mixed hardwood and pine forests 
 
From the parking lot, we’ll start with a nice, mostly flat, approach trail.  From there, we’ll take the west loop up into the hills.  There will be hills!  Where the west and east loops intersect we’ll take the east loop.  From there, we’ll make a very short detour to the site of a former CCC quarry.  We’ll return to the east trail, pick up the west loop again, and make our way back to the parking lot.    
 
Although some of the terrain is rugged there is only one significant climb, with an elevation gain of about 420 feet.  Depending on the weather, hikers can view Pine Log Mountain - one of the highest elevations in Bartow County's Appalachian foothills - and the site of the Pine Log Cherokee Indian Village.
