Itinerary:

Join us for beautiful views of Mount Yonah this Sunday. We will hike to the top of Mount Yonah. 

At 3166' Mount Yonah has great views over the surrounding area; this provides excellent vistas of the countryside. While 5 miles is not much but it is a steep climb to get to the top, so make sure you are fit before signing.

ON the way to Yonah we will take a detour to “The Boulder”

Please Note: in case of rain we will not do Rock climbing part.

 Please note: We will do some rock climbing using existing cables, while this is an optional for those interested to participate, others will have to wait for participant to return approximately 30 to 45 minutes, so have this in mind before signing. 

PLEASE NOTE:  THE CABLES HAVE COUPLE OF SPLINTERS,  IT WAS TAPED LAST TIME I WAS THERE,  I STRONGLY RECOMEND TO BRING GLOVES.Last time I was there was before covid, so we may have to make some adjustment to this section of activity if needed.

After visiting these two great features of Mount Yonah we will back track and follow an alternative trail to the top.

Once at the top we will spend some time enjoying the view, getting some photos, eating our snacks and then proceed around the mountain to take in all of the views. On the way back we will have an option to get any last minute photos before we descend back down to the car park.

We will hike at a moderate to leisurely pace with plenty of stops to provide great photo opportunities.

Please note, if the weather allows and leaves have turned beautiful we may spend some time on the top to enjoy the scenery, so if you are in rush to go up and down please do not sign for this event.

The event start at 10:30 sharp.

 

Optional dinner at THAI restaurant on GA 400 across from outlet mall.
