Atlanta
Single Hikers
Atlanta Single Hikers (ASH) is a group of individuals
(18 years and older) of various backgrounds who share a common interest -
a love of the outdoors in general and hiking in particular. ASH was started in 1995 and welcomes anyone 18 or older and unmarried who
wants to enjoy the thrill of the outdoors! Most of the people in the group
range in age from the 30's to 50's. We have lots of day hikes, socials,
backpacking and camping trips, dinners, canoeing, and other events. We
have at least one event every weekend and average two or three events a
week (mostly on the weekend). There is no membership fee; we just pay for
costs we incur, such as gas, parking fees, etc. Joining ASH is simple - just show up! To go on an activity, just contact
the event leader listed in the weekly email or this site to RSVP, if
requested. Usually, you can just show up and go. To get on the ASH email
list, simply send a request to Charles Dean at Cdean@lsil.com

Columbus. The PMT has a main trail of 23 miles and connecting loops
which give a total of over 40 miles of hiking. There are several road
crossing and several paved parking areas at trailheads. The Pine Mountain
ridge is much like North Georgia with lots of hardwoods, waterfalls, and
heavy rock outcropping. The PMT has 12 designated backcountry/backpacking

monthly hikes. They also maintain an extensive information website at www.pinemountaintrail.org.
