May 14th, 2023: Family Day on the Bartram Trail – A Hike and Craft Event

Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough folks for this event, we’ll look to reschedule another weekend.

This will be a short and fun hike from Warwoman Dell followed by some crafting that will be fun for kids and adults alike.

We will meet at Warwoman Dell in the parking lot, hike the small loop while Erin discusses animals that call the Dell their home. We will end at the picnic pavilion where we will make animal tracks!

This event will be led by our own Erin Hadjidakis who is a Board Member with the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy and a Park Ranger at Tallulah Gorge State Park.

Please plan to meet at Warwoman Dell at 2 pm. After a short hike (less than a mile), we’ll make some animal track crafts!

March 8th, 2023: International Women’s Day Hike at Warwoman Dell

Please join Erin Hadjidakis for a hike and discussion at Warwoman Dell to celebrate International Women’s Day. Erin is a board member with the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy and works as a Park Ranger at Tallulah Gorge State Park.

We will talk about the history of International Women’s Day, the women of Warwoman Dell, and other key women who have made an impact in our North Georgia region. We’ll chat and share some time together as we hike around Warwoman Dell then to Becky Branch falls. This is a short and relatively easy hike. If you have a special connection to Warwoman Dell or the region, we’d love to hear your story as well!

The event will start at 4:00 pm and wrap up about 5:30 pm. Please meet at the parking area at the end near the large picnic pavilion.

Walking With Bartram – Section 2 from Sandy Ford to Warwoman Dell

November 28th, 2022

Trail Report:

We had another great group for this hike with a lot of folks joining us again as we section hike our way through the Georgia portion of the Bartram Trail. We couldn’t have asked for finer weather conditions with clear skies and highs in the 60’s.

The group met at Warwoman Dell to figure out shuttle logistics before driving to the Sandy Ford trailhead.

The trail overall was in good shape. In the previous couple of weeks, we had trail maintenance volunteers out on this section clearing some downed trees and cutting back overgrown brush. So, while the path was clear for hiking, there is still some tread work to be done and we’ll have more days set aside for this work.

The group did observe some bird activity including Hermit Thrush, Robins, and Flocking Hollies.

Thanks to everyone who joined on this section hike from Sandy Ford to Warwoman Dell.

December 30th Walking With Bartram – Section 3: Warwoman Dell to Wilson Gap

***RSVP for this hike is closed as of 12/20. We’ve had great interest in these hikes, which is wonderful! But, logistics and planning for this can only support so many folks. We are working on how we can expand these hiking opportunities.

One more time to get out of the house and add a great hike to your holiday routine before the end of 2022!

Join us for section 3 of our Walking With Bartram hike series on December 30th, 2022. This month we are continuing from Warwoman Dell on to Wilson Gap. This section is roughly 8.5 miles with some respectable elevation changes. Depending on the weather, we may decide to approach this in reverse direction, from Wilson Gap to Warwoman Dell. Either way, we all win with winter views of Rabun Bald and other vistas that the bare trees afford us.

We will meet up at 9am at Waroman Dell (or Wilson Gap, final details will be announced closer to this hike date) to organize shuttles to the other trailhead and get started. We should wrap up by 4-5pm.

All Walking With Bartram hikes are open to anyone with a sense of humor and wonder. Just plan on bringing a lunch, water, and appropriate weather for the season. Hiking poles are not required, but you may appreciate them on the climbs and descents, especially following any snowfalls.

Please RSVP below to help us plan for the hike. Hope to see you on the trail!
