Itinerary: | |||||||
Come join your AOC peeps for a fun loop-de-loop hike at Amicalola Falls! Let's begin at the Visitor Center, and climb around 900 ft on the East Ridge Trail, to the top of the falls. After a break here, we will take a short hike to the Lodge. The hiking will continue on the Fitness Trail, and then back to the top of the falls via small part of the Len Foote Hike Inn Trail. At the top of the Falls, we will go down a few hundred steps on the West Ridge staircase and continue our hike on the West Ridge Falls Access Trail, the Spring Trail, and the Mt. Laurel Loop and the Creek Trail, then back to the VC. We will try to stay within 2.2-2.5 depending on the weather. This hike will not be going to Springer but it is not for beginners. If you are interested in carpooling, meet Mike at the following address: Power PC 2727 Canton Street Marietta, GA 30066 If you are not carpooling, please arrive 10 minutes early at the Visitor Center parking lot. There are rest rooms here. | |||||||
