Sassafras Mountain Day Hike

No location was chosen

We'll do an out and back hike to Sassafras Mountain, the highest peak in SC, on the Foothills Trail. The total hike distance is 9 miles, with a total elevation gain of 2,380. We should have some very good views ! This will be a moderately strenuous hike. We will stay together as a group and we will stop for dinner on the way home. Please make sure you are familiar with the trip participant guidelines. You will need to bring water, lunch, snacks, good hiking shoes and appropriate clothing for a winter hike including rain jacket. **************************************************** Berg Guidelines for Event Participants Berg Guidelines for Event Organizers

    8am carpool, 10am at trail head? How does this trail route rate in difficulty compared to Jones Gap hike (10mile 1600 ft. gain)?

    I would like to carpool. I live in Rock Hill but can meet wherever a carpool spot is decided on.

    Renee, I didn't add a wait list since I posted this so close to time to go thinking anyone who signed will be going.
    Mike, we will meet at 8 and get to the trailhead around 10.
    I'll email everyone tonight info on where we'll meet to carpool to the trailhead.

    Is this hike still on, given the weather forecast of 100% rain?

    Renee, I'm not planning to cancel. If you're not comfortable with the forecast and decide not to come, let me know.

    Another great hiking trip led by Cathy with Barbara assisting..the bit of morning drizzle did not dampen anyone's enjoyment and helped us stay cool on the way to the top of Sassafrass Mtn.
