2nd Bartram Trail Hike

9 mile hike on the Bartram Trail - From Hale Ridge Road to Wilson Gap

Details

This will be a moderate to strenuous hike traveling north to south along the Bartram Trail in the Chattahoochee National Forest. It will be a one way hike and will require a shuttle.

 

This hike will cross many streams as we start south with 15 bridges in the first 3 miles. The trail will ascend Rabun Bald (second highest point in Georgia with elevation of 4696 feet).
