Itinerary:

 

Join us for a moderate paced hike on the trails of the Sawnee Mountain Preserve. We'll keep a brisk, yet moderate pace.

We'll  hike up to the Indian Seats, a natural rock formation at the top of the trail system, which offers a beautiful setting for enjoying the views of the North Georgia Mountains.

We'll meet in front of the Sawnee Mountain Preserve Visitor Center on Spot Rd at 9:30am and hike directly to the Indian Seats to enjoy the view! 

Arrive a little early and enjoy the Sawnee Mountain Preserve Visitor Center. Admission is free of charge. The Center features interactive exhibits on the natural and cultural histories of Sawnee Mountain and a resource library/lounge for visitors to relax and read. 

 

After this hike those interested are invited to join us for lunch at a local Mexican restaraunt. Following lunch I will be leading a bike ride on teh Forsyth Greenway. Please consider joining both!
