Last Day

Last day on the trail. Hiked along the Chattooga River, and basically in it at times. The trail passes so close to the river that you are stepping on rocks with riverwater flowing between them, your not crossing the river, just hiking beside it. Isn't the trail in the pict just obvious?

Pulled away from the river and got to see my last few views from the lower ridges. I did take a side trail up to a firetower to get one last good view, but there was some barbed wire fence around the tower, so no tower viewing for me.

And so I reached the end of the trail, and my road salt covered car was still half salt covered (thunderstorm only cleaned on side). The Foothills Trail was great. I only saw a few people camping on the first morning, then had the trail to myself. Fantastic weather, great trail, great scenery-I will be back.
