There are 4 stream crossings so you may get your feet wet if the water is above normal. With all the beauty to enjoy and moderate pace please plan to be on the trail around 5 1/2 to 6 hours. Meet at 9:30 in the upper Stone Mountain parking lot beyond Stone Mountain Visitor’s Center. I plan to carpool at 7:40 from Fellowship Presbyterian Church located at 2005 New Garden Road in Greensboro and McDonalds at Jonestown exit in Winston-Salem at 8. Please e-mail me to let me know you are hiking and where you plan to meet.
