BMTA ACTIVITY CALENDAR

BMTA normally schedules four or five hikes per month, some “leisure” hikes that are shorter and easier and some 5 to 8 miles and of moderate difficulty. In addition, we have occasional backpacking hikes and more difficult ones that might be called “hardy hikes.” Occasionally we co-sponsor hikes with other organizations. Some, but not all, of our hikes are “dog friendly.” Although more hikes are in Georgia than the other states, you will find hikes in all three BMT states: Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

*Please refer to: BMTA COVID-19 Hiker Guidelines and Hiker Guidelines.

November 14, 2026, GA-TN/NC Work Trip

The November 14th trip will be a combined GA and TN-NC Work Trip.

 

When: Saturday, November 14, 2026
Where: Sections 12a-b US 64 to Kimsey Highway
Time: 8:30 AM
Meeting Location: Thunder Rock Campground

Parking: Available at Thunder Rock Campground

Plan for the Day:  We will meet at Thunder Rock, conduct our safety briefing, and depart for the trailheads. We plan to logout and brush out section 12a and 12b. This will involve crosscutting numerous blowdowns, brushing out the trail, and lopping overhangs which are mostly in the wilderness.

Crews: One crew will work north from US64 and one crew will work south from Kimsey Highway.

Bring/What to Wear: Water, food/snacks, gloves, long pants and boots with non-slip soles. Bring safety glasses, hard hats and hand tools if you have them. PPE will be provided for those without.
