February 9, 2023 Walking With Bartram – Section 4 (2): Wilson Gap to Hale Ridge Road

UPDATED 2/6: This hike is now full, RSVPs closed.

This is a second opportunity to joins us for Section 4 of the Walking With Bartram hiking series. In an effort to make these hikes more enjoyable and accessible to everyone that is interested, we’re offering a second date to join us. We’ll try to limit these hikes to 10 folks to allow everyone better interactions and make shuttling between trailheads a little easier.

If you’ve already signed up for the January 27th Walking with Bartram, you can change your RSVP to this one, just let us know if you do. You can email us directly at info@blueridgebartram.org.

Join us for section 4 in North Georgia from Wilson Gap to Hale Ridge Road, right at the North Carolina border. This is the final section in North Georgia before heading into the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina. This section is 9.2 miles in length and we’ll start climbing a little more to enjoy the views Rabun Bald.

We’ll meet at 9:00 am at the Hale Ridge Road trailhead to organize our shuttle cars to the start point. Both trailheads are a little tight with rougher roads leading to them. But, we did alright with shuttling cars to Wilson Gap in December, so we’ll be ok. If you do have a higher-clearance vehicle and can car-pool, that would be very helpful.

More details to follow closer to this date once we have all our RSVPs in.

Newcomers are welcome to join us. All you need to bring is water, lunch, clothing appropriate for this season, and your sense of humor and wonder.

We have had great interest in these hikes and are working to create new hiking opportunities. If you are interested in leading a hike, let us know!
