Ch.46-We Are Stronger Together - Ch8se With A Survivor

We are leaving Publix, 1625 Pleasant Hill Rd #200, Duluth, GA 30096, PROMPTLY at 7:00 a.m.  

Anna Ruby Falls Trail is a 0.9 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels.  A paved path along a stream will take users to the falls, with plenty of plaques telling users all about the surroundings. 

Anna Ruby Falls is actually twin waterfalls created where two separate streams, Curtis Creek and York Creek, join at the base of the falls to form Smith Creek, which flows into Unicoi Lake. Both Curtis and York creeks begin on Tray Mountain, Georgia's sixth-highest peak: Curtis Creek drops 153 feet (47 m) and York Creek drops 50 feet (15 m). The falls are named after Anna Ruby Nichols, the daughter of an early settler.  This trail is not considered wheelchair or stroller accessible because although it is paved and wide, it is moderately steep with very steep sections over 12%. Sections of it may be possible for some users and types of equipment, however, or with assistance. Taken from Alltrails.com.

This hike does not require hiking poles, nor hiking shoes or boots.  It is tennis shoe friendly.  Please pack a snack and hydration for the hike as well as for the drive.

Pack a lunch for after the hike.  We will identify a space to sit and have lunch and reflection time together.
