TRAIL INFO. – Our hike today began at the Warwoman Dell picnic area parking lot East of Clayton, GA on Warwoman Road. The Bartram Trail Northward led us past Becky Branch Falls on a nice woodland hike continuing past Martin Creek Falls and on up to the Summit of Pinnacle Mountain for some awesome views. (the Pinnacle Mtn. portion is a spur trail off of the Bartram Trail and is marked with white blazes.) Total hike today – 8 miles. Another beautiful hiking day! Partly cloudy skies with temps ranging from 30-48 degrees F. This trail is relatively hilly with one strenuous climb up to the top of Pinnacle. It is well worth the effort with great views! |
 During the first mile, we crossed the foot-bridge at Becky Branch Falls. |
 The first 2.5 miles of the hike includes lots of nice mountain streams and creeks. Even on a cool December day, our lab “Jet” enjoys a splash in the creek! |
 Beautiful Martin Creek Falls! |
