Join MountainTrue’s western regional director, Callie Moore on the first day of the New Year for a moderate 6-mile loop hike on the Miller Trek in the Brasstown Wilderness. The trail climbs at a consistent rate of 500 ft/mile for almost three miles, skirting around Rocky Knob where we’ll take a short spur trail out to some rock outcrops for lunch and amazing views of both Hiawassee and Young Harris. The rest of the hike descends almost at the same rate it ascended, passing through beautiful mature forests on the way back to the trailhead. There is nothing particularly challenging about this hike. It’s rated moderate for the length and elevation gain of about 1,500′. Hike is free, but registration is required: https://mountaintrue.org/event/first-day-hike-in-the-brasstown-wilderness-near-young-harris-ga/. Please, no pets.
