Mountain High Hikers

Trail Maintenance

Club members are very active in trail maintenance. Each week work trips are scheduled alternating between NC and GA. The club has been instrumental in the reopening of Chunky Gal Trail, open and blazing a new trail to Boteler Peak, and is working to keep Fires Creek trail system in good shape. The club also maintains all of the trails leading to Brasstown Bald, Helton Creek Falls, High Shoals Falls, Cooper's Creek Trails, and the Miller Trek at Brasstown Resort. Anyone can join and there is a job suited to everyone. Our trips are on Thursdays, and can be found on the Hike Calendar
