Name: Coosa Backcountry- Bear Hair Trail Loop
Distance: 6.7
Difficulty: Moderate
Total Climbing Elevation: 1634
Type: Loop
Notes: This was a moderately difficult hike with "just right" weather, sunny skies and temperatures between 34°F and 44°F. The trails are in fair condition showing heavy use and some left-over blowdowns from Hurricane Helene. This is mostly an uphill hike for the first half and then downhill when returning. Not surprisingly we did encounter some residual ice on the trail requiring careful footing on the climb up the Coosa Backcountry Trail to the intersection with the Duncan Ridge Trail. There continues to be a very nice overlook of Vogel State Park on a well-marked side trail half way up the Bear Hair Trail. Today's Hikers: Terre Pratt, Matt Henderson & Toby, Jenny Bell, Pam Hembree, Ken Pardue, Sue Vaughn & Mike Bell
