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.

Yonah Mountain. This is a challenging 2.3-mile uphill with approximately 1600 feet of elevation gain. Iconic Yonah Mountain is located between Helen and Cleveland, Georgia. It is used by rock climbers from throughout the southeastern United States and as well as the Army Rangers from Camp Merrill. Majestic views of up to 30 miles are a highlight of the trip up to the summit.
