Name: Chattooga River/ Foothills Trail South from Burrell's Ford Campground
Distance: 6.7
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Total Climbing Elevation: 768
Type: Out & Back
Notes: The weather was the biggest challenge today with the very high humidity and no wind making the mild 67 °F to 82 °F temperatures seem much higher. Thank goodness for the high tree canopy providing good shade for the hike. Despite being quite wet from overnight rains, the trail was in the best condition in many years showing some good maintenance. It still has lots of roots and rocks from the heavy use. Hiking constantly in sight of the sight and sound of the Chattooga River is a nice feature of this trail. I forgot how large and beautiful King's Creek Falls is. There were not too many wildflowers to see today. All-in-all, still a great day for a hike and thanks to Heather for her backup GPX file. TODAY'S HIKERS: Heather Wall with Toby, Mike Bell, Kim Johnson, Jenny Bell, Edwin Pruitt, Vic Robson, Jim Driggers & Matt Henderson with Toby.
