About Us

Hiking Philosophy

Hiking Philosophy

Hiking Philosophy

 

Mission:   The mission of the Mountain High Hikers is to promote and facilitate  hiking activities in the Southern Appalachian area and encourage  involvement in the maintenance of trails and conservation of forest  environments. 

Origination:   Mountain High Hikers originated from a course entitled “Hiking in the  Blue Ridge” at the Institute for Continuing Learning, at Young Harris  College in the winter of 1993.  28 folks attended the course, and that  small group expanded throughout the years to over 200 members.  Most  members live in Towns, Union, and Fannin counties in Georgia, and Clay  and Cherokee counties in North Carolina.  Most are full time residents,  but some only come up for a few weeks a year.

Our Hikes

Hiking Philosophy

Hiking Philosophy

  Mountain  High Hikers sponsors 3 hikes every week to accommodate a variance  in hiking skills. We have 2 on Tuesdays for intermediate and advanced hikers, and on Thursdays we have a Leisure hike which are shorter, less steep and go at a slower pace.  Prospective members and guests are invited to hike  with us.  Guidelines allow for 3 guest hikes before joining. Prospective  members should attend a Thursday Leisure hike first to determine which hiking  level will work best.    

Please remember that hiking can be strenuous in our mountains, and that certain risks are involved. All hiking participants are required to sign an assumption of risk release.  For further information, please review the Hiking  Guidelines and Hike Calendar on this website.

Trail Maintenance

Club members are very active in trail maintenance. Each week work  trips are scheduled alternating between NC and GA.  The club is responsible for maintaining the Chunky Gal Trail,  Fires Creek  trail system, all of the trails  leading to Brasstown Bald, Helton Creek Falls, High Shoals Falls,  Cooper’s Creek Hiking Trails, and the Miller Trek at Brasstown Resort.  Both men and women are encouraged to attend.  Our trips are on Thursdays, and can be found on the Hike Calendar
