North Carolina Trail Days

Schedule:

9:00AM - 10:30AM: Name your Route' Stone Mountain Climbs

Stone Mountain Lower Parking Lot; Meet at trailhead near restrooms

1. Would you like to learn how to identify rock climbing routes from afar? 2. Would you like to laugh at some of the names chosen for these routes? 3. Would you like to learn about how to get started rock climbing in general? Pack your binoculars and your fancy camera lenses and let's hike to the ideal location with a few people rock climbing and rappelling on the South Face of Stone Mountain. The hike distance is about 1.5 miles each way with an elevation gain of about 400 feet. The last time we did the hike for this event it took about 30 minutes to reach the overlook.

9:00 AM: Garden Creek Moonshine Stills Hike

Garden Creek Baptist Church in Stone Mountain State Park

This is a Moderate/Strenuous 2-mile hike. Explore several preserved liquor stills on this hike along Garden Creek at Stone Mountain State Park. Much of this hike will be off-trail. Dress accordingly. Meet at the Garden Creek Baptist Church INSIDE Stone Mountain Park on the main road through the park.
