Rescheduled (MS) Sassafras Mtn to Rock Mtn view

Plan to be at the parking lot at the end of Sassafras Mountain Rd and ready to depart no later than 10:30 AM.

We will be doing an out and back hike following the Foothills Trail to the Palmetto trail down to the Rock Mountain view point. This is a 6.7 mile out & back hike, but we will return via the Carolina Hemlock loop. We will stop for a lunch/ snack break. The hike out is mostly downhill and the return is mostly uphill, total elevation gain is 1,100 feet.
Because most of the elevation gain is on the 3.4 mile return leg, this is a challenging MS hike. We will take breaks as needed on the return.
The hike should take about 3.5 to 4 hours to complete.

Miles = 6.7, EG: 1,100 feet. Rating: MS
The pace will be a moderate 2.5 mph.
After the hike, we can walk up to the observation deck and enjoy the magnificent views.
