Trail Overview
Walking Stick Road South is a dirt and rock path that is a moderately challenging trail located within the Chattahoochee National Forest in Northern Georgia, which I traveled going south from Big Creek Road in the Nantahala National Forest. This trail has 24-36 inch ledges and boulders riddled throughout the trail, and several places with washouts that are 36 inches deep that you either have to straddle or stay on the high side of to prevent falling into. This can lead to being off-camber by 24 degrees or more. I encountered mud along the way, but mostly shallow puddles, with most of the trail dry. There were a few trees that had fallen across the trail, but I was able to drive under them even though I have an RTT. Several more trees had fallen across the trail, but had been cleared. I would guess that this trail could be very difficult to travel during or soon after rain. The rocks on the trail are sandstone, which offer good grip, and the dirt is mostly sand-based. The trail is tight in places, so expect pinstriping.
Difficulty
This trail was ridden with a 2019 Jeep Rubicon with 2.5" lift and 37 inch tires with full armor so take that into consideration. I would expect some scraping andtighjt off camber areas to stay out of the deep washes and ruts. There are rocks and ledges to climb and drop off of that are 36 inches and possibly more.
