Itinerary:

We are hiking on the Benton McKaye (and DRT) from Hwy 60 to Wallhallah Mountain and then return to Hwy 60. This is a total of 4 miles. We will then cross Hwy 60 to continue the hike to the swinging suspension bridge on the Toccoa River. We will then return the way we came for a total of 7 miles. The entire hike is 11 miles. This is a difficult, strenuous hike. Elevation gain 3000'.
