Remember, everyone MUST ALL REGISTER BEFORE GETTING ON THE TRAIL (at the Visitors Center @ Amicalola Falls just inside the main gate (before driving up the hill to where we park and the trail starts).
This is very important….****** NOTE**** When you arrive at the park gate, DO NOT PAY to come into the park, be sure and tell the Park Ranger that you are spending the night at Len Foote Hike-Inn. You will pay your parking fee when you register at the Visitor Center.
Also, Hike-Inn has asked for a $10 cash tip from each person. Please do this, the tip is divided between ALL STAFF, cooks, waiters, bathroom cleaners, property cleaners, laundry people, front desk, yard & lawn workers…. everyone….. There will be “tip jars” in the dining room and the front office****
Other items:
If you have never taken the tour on how the Hike-Inn is run organically and Green, you need to do this… very fascinating & interesting… This tour usually starts promptly at 5:00 p.m. *** might be different this time so ask when you check in****
You may pack in alcohol however you must carry out anything you carry in so use plastic containers for less weight in your pack.
We will be playing LRC AFTER DINNER and AFTER THE PROGRAM... SO if you want to join in bring some $1.00 bills.
One more item:
If you have a Chattanooga Ski Club T-Shirt or hat or both, please bring with you for a “Group Picture”! I think this will be a Great Picture for the CSC Newsletter.
I guess that’s it….. Looking forward to a great hike with great friends and great fellowship.
Glad you’re going with us this time,

Hike-Inn Reservations
If you like to hike and have never done this before, you will love this fantastic moderate hike. The trail is well maintained without a lot of rocks or roots on the trail. It is uphill most of the five miles. You will need to carry your clothes and toiletries for the evening and the next morning. When you reach the Inn, you will fall in love with this place and will want to go back again. Awaiting you will be a delicious home-cooked dinner (family style) and a hearty breakfast. Alcohol can be packed in. For more info, see their website @ Hike-Inn.com. Be aware that what you carry in you must also carry out.
****. There is also a $10 per room tip that must be paid while you are at the Inn. Cancellation is up to 7 days out with a $10 per room cancellation fee.
As always bring $1 bills for LRC.....
