Benton MacKaye Trail Hike - May 13th

Planning a hike on the Benton MacKaye Trial in north Georgia for Sunday the 13th of May. This will be a 12.7 mile hike and is rated easy to moderate. The hike will take place near Cherry Log, Ga.

Plan on spending 7 hours on the trail. We will be doing a car shuttle, as this is a one way hike.

We will be meeting at the Burger King in Elijay, and we will leave the Burger King at 9:00 AM sharp for the trailheads.

I might try to join you. Can you bring your dog?

Yes, it is okay to bring your dog. Are you sure that the dog can handle the distance?

Also, planning two more hikes for Robbinsville, NC on the 14th and 15th.

He can, the question is can I lol. I try to do 12 miles every weekend, 5 during the week. This is on flatout ground, I think your hike is full of hills. Still will try to come.

The hike will have a moderate climb at the beginning from Dyers Gap to Flat Top Mountain, and then it will be mostly down hill.

We did the 12.6 mile hike on the Benton MacKaye Trail between Dyer Gap and Bushy head Gap. A relatively easy hike , mostly downhill.
