I live in Dalton, and set foot on the Pinhoti for the first time when I was visiting Keown falls/Johns Mountain overlook (20mi SW of Dalton) with the Chattanooga hiking club.
I know that N.E of there there is a bit of road walking.
But I am wondering, If I park at Keown Falls/Johns mountain overlook in the Chattahoochie forrest, how far can I go S.W. of there on the Pinhoti til I come to:
Road walking
A re-supply point before heading back.
I would like to Park near Keown/johns mountain overlook and then hike the pinhoti in the direction of Alabama. But because I hike with my dog, I want to know how long til I am forced to hike on roads, and what is a decent re-supply spot to go to before turning around and hiking back.
I don't know if that would only be 10miles or 50 miles. So any info on that area would be great.
heres a few pics of the area, incase I'm confusing you on where Im talking about.
