GA 4000 Series: Rich Knob and Hightower Bald

The hike starts on Charlies Creek Road and proceeds eastward to Blue Ridge Gap (Elev. 3,020 feet). The hike then follows the A.T. northbound for about 2.5 miles; and then the fun begins. A steep bushwhack up to Rich Knob (Elev. 4,150 feet) is followed by a 1.2-mile long down and then uphill bushwhack to Hightower Bald (Elev. 4,590 feet). The return hike requires a re-climb to Rich Knob and a return on the A.T. and Charlies Creek Road.

Note: This hike is a challenging 10 miles with considerable bushwhacking.
