No Experience Required

You meet at Andy’s Market in Clayton and, minutes later, the trees close in — a corridor of laurel, ferns and moss-slick roots that belongs to the Southern Appalachians. The guide sets the pace: today you can choose the rolling Bartram Trail in Rabun County or the steeper Yonah Mountain ascent. Both routes trade flat valley walking for sudden, panoramic exposures where the mountains push the sky outward.
