Itinerary:

Join Ron & Nate (his first co-lead in AOC TL training) for a challenging hike on the Appalachian Trail.

We will be starting at the Unicoi Gap Trailhead and hiking on the Georgia AT up to Rocky Mountain where we will stop for a short rest before continuing up to Tray Mountain. Once we reach the top, we will take a break to enjoy the views and eat lunch around Tray Mountain Shelter before retracing our steps back down the Georgia AT to the Unicoi Gap Parking Lot. This is a steep D5 hike with around 3200 ft elevation gain.
