    Default Pinhoti Trail Video

    Well guys. I am back at it again. This time I am hiking the Pinhoti Trail. I create video guides or virtual hikes of the trails I hike. The video focus almost exclusively on the trail. What you will see and where. There are trail locations and mile markers for most of the videos. I ended the trail at Bull's Gap.

    In this section, I started on top of Flagg Mountain Tower Saturday. I got the view from the tower and head down the dirt road to the trailhead. It is about 1.2 miles on the dirt road from tower to trailhead.

    For mile markers I relied on the Pinhoti Trail Alliance e-guide found here: http://www.pinhotitrailalliance.org/...t-guides..html

    Here is Pinhoti Trail - Section 1 - Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3WnuBa_OqQ

    Hope you guys enjoy. Park 2 should be out by the end of the weekend.

    Happy you guys liked it. Next section will be Adams Gap to Bull's. Let me know what I need to see. If there is something cool off trail or anything I need to put in the video for that section. I don't know when I will do this section, but hopefully this month.

    Drybones, the cabins look cool. Wish I had checked them out.

    Good timing on showing the Section 2 re-route. I had just read about this the other day.

    pinhoti trail / section 2.
    Update 2~3~16

    The northern half of the Section 2 Road Walk has been re~routed.
    The Blue Blazes on the power poles for the old route have been removed.
    The Blue Blazes for the new route have been added to power poles.
    These changes will show up in the Trail Guides as soon as I get my lazy butt down there to re~measure

    Matt, the old route vs new route map link is one I created after I walked about 1 mile past Old Rockhouse road (the re-route) and then heard from the Coosa Hiker Hostel that there was a re-route. As a purist and for the purpose of documenting the road walk, I turned around. I wish I had known before I headed out, but what can you do.

    The re-route is substantially shorter, but I have gotten different figures. I put it in google maps and it seemed to be 1.7 miles shorter, but I have heard others say it is 2.8 miles shorter.

    I really enjoyed the re-route. Lake Joy made for a pretty cool stopping point for a snack and a nice view.

    I am enjoying it so far, but the rock garden can ... well you know. I rolled an ankle on a wet rock there. Made the 6-7 miles a nightmare.

    Anyways, got back from my last section.

    Thank you. I wish I had a better camera and some camera skills, but I make due with what I got.

    I couldn't hike the Pinhoti this weekend, but I did manage to make the video from my last hike:

    Pinhoti Trail - Section 4 - Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glhbIiAA1aM

    The other parts to come later this week.

    If anyone has done North FS 500 to Jackson Chapel recently, how did you find the trail?

    I am been checking out your videos to see which section we want to do, We haven't been out for a long time so we will probably take a few days/nights to do what you do over a weekend. Any recommendations?

    when were you at Lower Shoals? I was there end of Feb. I agree, that shelter is a neat little place to hang out...

    Love ending a days hiking at the Lower Shoals shelter.
    Was there late December of last year.
    Arrived at the shelter at 2:30 or so.
    Stayed the evening.
    About 9:30 some guy walks up and scared the crap out of me.
    The only person I saw for 4 days of hiking. Blissful.
