Blood Mountain from Vogel - 8.5 miles difficult

Let's Take-a-Hike to Blood Mountain via Bear Hair Gap, Coosa Backcountry/Duncan Ridge and AT Trails!

We will begin our hike at Vogel State Park. We will head up the Bear Hair Gap trail but instead of looping back to Vogel, we will take a right on the Coosa Backcountry Trail and then a left on the Duncan Ridge Trail and then left on the AT until we summit Blood Mountain. We have done portions of all of these trails but now we are putting them together! This hike is listed as 8.5 miles with 2500 elevation gain.

We will meet at the new Visitor's Center at 9am. The parking fee is $10 unless you have the GA State Parks annual pass ($70). Please bring plenty of water, snacks and hiking poles. We will maintain a pace of 2-2.5 miles per hour.

Now for the disclaimers: please remember that you will be participating at your own risk as Suwanee Take-a-Hikers assumes absolutely no liability (nada, zilch, zip, jack squat) for adverse events which may occur during meetups.

Hope to see you there!
