Itinerary:

Let's hike Pine Mountain in Cartersville, GA! We will do the west and east trail loops.  This will give us two climbs to the summit for 1400+ feet elevation.  We will start by 1/2 of the west loop putting us on the summit.  We will take a short breather.  Then we will do the entire east loop putting us back on the summit.  We need a break and our on-the-go snack!  Perfect, as this is the David Archer Overlook with some outstanding views of Lake Allatoona and distant mountains.  Then we will complete the other 1/2 of the west loop putting us back at our cars.  This hike is rated D3 because of elevation gain on our route.

Recent D2+ experience to join the fun.  Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for socializing. 

After the hike, an optional visit to the nearby Tellus Science museum.
