Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Rocky Face Ridge Park 6.10.2025

 Seven SC Hikers, led by Dave Graham weathered a bit of a morning mist and fog to ascend to Buzzards Roost at rocky Face Ridge Park near Dalton, GA.  Cool temperature, but oppressive high humidity accompanied us on the 5.5 mile sojourn.  After meeting up with a big black snake on our climb to the top, an elevation gain of over 1300 feet, we were met by spectacular views from a 360 degree vantage point.  All in all, a GREAT hike – one that deserves a repeat visit.

Little Cedar Mountain 5.20.2025

 On this hike, 17 hikers traversed the Little Cedar Mountain Trail.  Although there were some overgrown spots and some slippery rocks, we enjoyed the forest and flowers.  The views and breezes at the water’s edge and overlook at the top of out our 400 foot ascent provided a nice reprieve from the muggy weather.  A snake and turtle greeted us along the way.  All in all, it was a pleasurable morning.  A special thanks to Randy for doing trail maintenance ahead of us as we hiked.

 I don't have a write-up for this hike but it was a nice day and I don't think the rains came.

 I don't have any description of this hike, but from the smiling faces it appeared to be a very nice walk in the woods.

Greenway Farms 5.13.2025

 Our hike at Greenway Farms started out nice and clear.  Unfortunately, a short but thorough shower drenched us all on the way back.  Gotta love the trails.
