Itinerary:

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

Join me on one of my favorite sections of the Pinhoti Trail in the Talladega National Forest.

This will be a fun, fast, rolling hill hike with typical Pinhoti rocks, creeks and views. This will be a great change of pace hike and quite different from the typical North Georgia hikes. There aren't any steep climbs on this hike, so we will be cruising through the woods. Expect a FAST, pleasant hike with great company and plenty of laughs.

We will be having lunch at an awesome shelter on a beautiful creek. The lunch location is the highlight of the hike... we may even take a longer break than normal.

This is a long, fast, D5 hike, only experienced hikers will be able to join the fun.
