NEW TRAIL!

Pine Mountain, Cartersville has two loops connecting it - West Loop and the East Loop. The West Loop is approximately 2.0 miles, and the East Loop is approximately 2.5 miles. While the distance is not long, the terrain and the elevation need to be considered. They are rugged and somewhat challenging trails that reach 1,562 feet above sea level. Upon reaching the vista, we will be at the highest point in the city of Cartersville.
_____
As always, wear comfortable (not new) sturdy shoes and layered clothing. Bring plenty of water, snacks and your lunch. We will have lunch at the top of the trail, while enjoying the great view from the mountain's vista.
The trailhead is about an hour, or less drive from Atlanta. We carpool, so please be prepared to donate $7 - $10 to the driver for gas. Parking is free.
Don't forget the Leave No Trace principles to which we adhere... what you carry in, you carry out, with the exception of taking your memories of the adventure, your new friendships, and of course, any photos you may take.
