Come enjoy a fun camping trip in the mountains near Helen, Georgia. We will provide all the food, and camping equipment (including sleeping bags if you need one). You just need to bring hiking clothes and sleeping clothes and a pillow.

We will be camping at Low Gap on the banks of the Chattahoochee river not far from its source but before it flows through Helen. The camping sites are nicely shaded and there are restrooms but they are some what primitive. See pictures below. There are NO SHOWERS or WASHROOMS so if you want to be clean you will have to rinse off in the river. You will survive 2 days without a shower!

We will arrive at the campsite on Friday evening and be back at Intown at about 6:30 pm on Sunday. On Saturday and Sunday we will do some hikes which will be at least D3 level.

This trip is only for people who have hiked with Atlanta Hikes before and is limited to 15 people so please sign up quickly if you want to go. Please do not sign up unless you are capable of doing at least D3 hikes and you are willing to live without some amenities for a few days.

You will need to give a deposit of $20 if you want to go. You can give it to Rony or Peter. Unless you are bringing a child please do your own sign up.

Sign up for this event will close at 5pm on March 22, 2016
