A couple of hikes in north GA with the Atlanta Outdoor Club. We started with a warmup hike up Bell Knob (about 2 miles/1000' ascent total) and then moved on to Eagle Mtn, one of the highest peaks in GA at 4240'. It was a 4.2 mile hike to the summit...about 2000' of ascent along the way...steady climb with a few steeper sections, but it was mostly an old logging road so the grade was reasonable. Just beautiful mid Oct weather and a fun group made it a very memorable day.
