| This is Part II of our Pair 'o Pines day. Those of us who participated in Part I and planned to do Part II will meet at the trailhead at Pine Mt. Those doing only Part II should plan to drive up themselves. Lauren and I will try to coordinate cars for those of you wanting to carpool from the Busbee Park n' Ride. Please indicate your wishes when you sign up - - or shoot us an email. We will start at the West Loop Trailhead, walking in a counterclockwise direction until we reach the ridge of Pine Mountain. After a side trip to the summit overlook we will follow a connector trailt to the East Loop. We will walk this loop clockwise, back to the connector trail. We will then continue walking on the West Loop, until we return to the trailhead. The total walking distance is about 4.8 miles. | ||||||||

| Notes: | ||||||||
|
Pine Mountain is the newest recreation area in the City of Cartersville. The East Loop Trailhead connects the city to Lake Allatoona's shoreline and reaches 1,562 feet above sea level. The rugged and challenging trail development crosses Pine Mountain and Hurricane Hollow, so named by early miners. The land is part of the 13,000 acres that were originally the site of Mark Cooper's iron empire. The new West Loop Trailhead is now open at I-75 Exit 288, at the entrance to Komatsu. The trail is maintained by the City of Cartersville Parks & Recreation Department. * We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events. | ||||||||
