Itinerary:

Join us for a mid morning hike at Gold Branch on the Chattahoochee to burn off those calories from the 4th. We will start the hike at a moderate pace and hike up to the ridge.  We then go along the top of the ridge  before decending to hike along Bull Sluice lake.   The trail will take us up and down several hills before leading back to the parking lot.  This will be a D3 pace to get in a good hike while enjoying the scenery.

 

There will be an optional lunch after the hike at a local restaurant.  After all, we will have earned it.
