May’s Light Hike will be to the beautiful Sawnee Mountain and the Indian Seats Trail in Cumming. This is a favorite to those who are from Cumming as it used to be a Jeep trail leading to the top. Now it is a great park overlooking some pastures and a pond. No parking fees and real bathrooms plus great fellowship and fun will make this a memorable hike.**If you are new to Echo, we can’t wait to meet you. This is a perfect way to get outside and enjoy meeting new people. We will do a brief meet & greet before the hike so you will be sure to meet some other people from your part of town.**
This will be an easy hike with a difficulty level of D-2 with a distance of 3.6 miles. For your sake and the sake of the group, please do not assume beyond your ability.
