Join Outdoor Adventure as we backpack along the scenic Pine Mountain Trail, home to sweeping overlooks, rocky outcrops, and quiet forest paths. As we hike through one of Georgia’s most iconic mountain corridors, we’ll soak in crisp spring air, learn backcountry skills, and settle into camp under the stars. Whether it’s your first overnight trip or you’re a seasoned backpacker, Pine Mountain offers an unforgettable weekend escape.
