This is a great hike for beginners to hiking. It has some great views and not too strenuous. John’s Mountain is located near Villanow, Georgia and is part of the Armuchee Ridges. The hike will involve a climb of about 800 feet over a distance of about 2 miles. On the way up we’ll stop for a break at Keown Falls. The trail then moves on to the top of John’s Mountain and where there is a great view and a large observation deck. We’ll stop for lunch and then do a loop hike of the ridge which will put us back at KeownFalls where we can make our descent back to the trailhead.
Things to bring:
– 1-1.5 liters of water
– Good hiking shoes or boots
– Layered clothing
