GA4000 Challenge Series: Rich Mountain, Big Bald, Tickanetley Bald
This hike is in the Rich Mountain WMA northeast of Ellijay. The hike starts on FS 338 and follows an old trail up to Cold Mountain before rejoining FS 338 at a clearing. We will follow the road and then a social trail to Tickanetley Bald (Elev. 4,010 feet). We will return on part of the social trail before a short bushwhack to the summit of Rich Mountain (Elev. 4,050 feet) and continuing down to the clearing again. A short road walk and bushwhack to the summit of Big Bald Mountain (Elev. 4,075 feet) is next. Finally, we return to the clearing and back over Cold Mt to the starting point. This is a strenuous hike of 12 miles and includes bushwhacking off trail.
