This week's hike will begin at the Cherry Hill pull off on Hwy 107 in Oconee County. We follow a woodland track down to the Chattooga River to meet the Foothills Trail. Hiking next to the River, we pass Big Bend Falls and the challenging scramble to river level; scramble optional. Next we continue downriver to a riverside lunch spot. We continue on to Lick Log and Pig Pen Falls before leaving the River valley, and ascending back to Highway 107. (SHUTTLE REQUIRED)
