For anyone interested, I’m planning to backpack the Chattooga River, Fork Mountain and Foothills Trail loop the weekend of 5/22 & 5/23. The plan is to meet-up at the Burrells Ford Campground in Mountain Rest, SC late morning/lunch time on Saturday and hike along the Fork Mountain trail ~10ish miles until we locate a suitable river camp site. Hang there and enjoy camp dinner/stories and then complete the loop along the CRT and Foothills Trail on Sunday.
I’ve never been to Ellicott Rock Wilderness before but this looks like a reasonable drive for Ga, Western NC, and Upstate SC forum members. Hiking should be moderate with not a lot of elevation change. We’re not planning any group meals so plan to pack/carry whatever supplies you’ll want on hand. Anyone who wants to join is welcome. So far it’s me and TallPaul on the trip roster. If you’re interested please confirm attendance by responded to this thread. We’ll grab lunch at the Campground Saturday while waiting for those who respond to show before heading out on the trail.
