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 is in the Central timezone, all times listed are in EASTERN!

Join me as I continue south down the Pinhoti Trail in the Talladega National Forest. We will be parking at the Bull Gap Parking area.

This will be a fun, fast, rolling hill hike with typical Pinhoti rocks, creeks a few climbs and views. This will be a great change of pace hike and quite different from the typical North Georgia hikes. Expect a FAST, pleasant hike with great company and plenty of laughs.

There are plenty of views on this hike with mostly rolling hills and no big climbs. This is the last hike in the Talladega National Forest as I make my way towards completion of the Pinhoti.

Buck, my enthusiastic four legged friend will be joining us on this hike, if you are not a fan of doggy attention,this may not be a good hike for you.

This is a long, difficult D5 hike, recent D5 experience is required to join the fun. Those without AOC D5 experience will be moved to the waitlist and must respond to all trip leader inquiries to be added to the event.

I am always looking for volunteers to drive, please consider listing yourself as willing to drive!
