Where to Meet and Directions

We will meet at the parking area at the end of FS Road 90B.  From downtown Ellijay, take Hwy 52 West towards Ft Mountain.  Turn right on Gates Chapel Rd and follow it to the end.  Stay straight on Wilderness Trail and it turns into FS Road 90.  Continue on and keep a sharp lookout for FS Rd 90B on your left.  Turn left and it deadends into the parking area.
