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 event will have 3 hikes (each with 4.7 stars out of 5 on AllTrails) of 2.5, 2.3, and 4.9 miles, with short drives

in between.   Total elevation gain is 1500 feet.  High Shoals is our first stop and then it's a 30 minute
