Really short hike if you’re in the area - You can check-off another 4K+ peak in Georgia. Not much views in early Fall. Maybe late Fall or early winter maybe better times for views

Yet another 4K+ elevation peak in Georgia. Some bushwhacking required to get to top of Cowpen as there’s no trail. Same with Panther Bluff.

Challenging hike. 15 or so water crossings on the west side of the loop following the river the majority of the way. More gradual slope trails on the east side with little to no water.

Good first time on traverse. Woke up to rain with no rain fly on hammocks. Overall fun

Amazing trail. Bushwhacked the entire 18-19 miles. About 100 blowdowns. Wear pants and long sleeves. Prepare to get wet. The falls are amazing.

The hike was a challenge going down steep downhill into Panther Creek Falls. Camped at the top of the falls near the creek. The hike out was wet. Lucy woke me up to say the lightning and thunder was coming. We were packed and had just put my pack on for the walk back. Drenched in 1 minute and the trail was a river. Not even close to death! Just the way we like it.

Great trail! Gravel road was well maintained! The side trails were way more technical and a lot of fun. High clearance vehicle is suggested

This is a good hike for folks who want an easy treadway, modest climbs, few encounters with others, and traversing isolated terrain.

Great creek crossings. It was up to doors at a coupleof place in mid Aug.

Nice easy 4x4 road. Need some clearance, primarily for the creek crossings.

Was a back in and out hike, highest elevation was start of the hike so a steep climb out at the end of the hike. There were numerous water crossing, the ones I noted as deep topped my boots. There is a spectacular waterfall about half way through.

This hike is another one used mostly by locals. From the Pinhoti trailhead you descend 1 mile to West Dug Gap Rd and reverse your trace back to the trailhead. From there you continue your climb to the top of Dug Mtn. and continue southward on the Pinhoti. A mostly solitary (and lovely) hike!

This is a back way into the Georgia travers via GA64 towards Conasauga Lake. It’s a very easy route with a lot spectacular views, waterfalls and it even has the mystical cell phone service in several spots.

Nice in/out 10 mile hike
Lots of downfall on the trail
Camp Site at CDG is marginal, too much slope for me
Spring water at the camp site - excellent

The trail is really grown up to the point that parts of the trail were almost completely covered. Should be a good hike for late fall.
