AT Hike - Tray Gap to Addis Gap and back ~ 13.5 miles hard
Details
Let's Take-a-Hike on the GA AT to complete another section!
The hike will start at Tray Gap and we will head to Addis Gap and then back to Tray Gap. I'm estimating the hike to be about 13.5 miles and over 2000 ft elevation gain over those miles. I estimate it will take about 7-8 hours with breaks. Our group tends to hike around 2-2.5 mph.
Here is the link to AllTrails that is Tray Gap to Dick's Creek Gap. We will not go all the way to Dick's Creek but will stop at Addis Gap which is about 6.7 miles from Tray Gap:

The road to Tray Gap is pretty rough - at least from what I am reading online. This will require a vehicle with AWD or 4WD and high clearance. Because of this, I am opening the hike with a waitlist. Please comment if you have a vehicle that can make the trek and are willing to transport fellow hikers. If you do not have a vehicle, then I will add folks from the waitlist as vehicle spots become available. Hope this does not become too complicated.
I'm starting the hike at 9am and predict it will be cold! I want to make sure we can complete the hike before dark. Please bring layers, snacks, hiking poles, water and your energetic spirit!
Meeting location will be deterimed as we get closer to the hike.
Vehicles:
Cindy with B&R + Shateese
