Itinerary:

Join us for a mid morning workout at Gold Branch on the Chattahoochee.  We will start the hike at a moderate pace and hike up to the ridge.  We then go along the top of the ridge  before decending to hike along Bull Sluice lake.   The trail will take us up and down several hills before leading back to the parking lot.  This will be a D3 pace to get in a good workout.

 

Note that the sign for Gold Branch is down due to road construction.
