I went on a day hike at Vogel State Park on the Coosa Backcountry Trail. A 12.9 mile loop with the trailhead located in Vogel State Park. There is a short access or connector trail leading to the Coosa Backcountry Trail loop which travels through the Chattahoochee National Forest for most of the 12.9 miles. I chose to take the loop in a counterclockwise direction. The trail leads one near the summit of three peaks: Coosa Bald, Wildcat Knob, and Slaughter Mountain. I stopped for lunch at a beautiful campsite near Call Stomp Gap. There were some amazing sights along the trail.
This loop is not for the novice hiker especially as a day hike. To complete this trail as a day hike one must travel at a fast pace. There are several excellent campsites along the trail affording an easy opportunity for an overnight.
I have included a link to the Vogel State Park website.

Hello! Cool that you have camped at Vogel State Park. It does have an extensive trail system with several connectors to other major trails. I appreciate the kind words and your encouragement since the AT. Thank you for liking the hair. It is almost too long to manage. Keep Hiking! Take care and God bless you and your family!
Beautiful video again sleeves. Keep safe Keep trekking
Hello! I trust you are doing well! Thank you! Vogel State Park is a wonderful place and the trail system is excellent. I appreciate you watching and hiking along with me. Take care and Keep Hiking!
Amazing that you talked about the tongue. I was just telling my mom yesterday that words are so powerful that God created the whole universe with words. I always love your trail talk.
Hello! Trusting that you are doing well. Isn’t it amazing how the LORD works in our lives. We both were contemplating how the tongue can be used for good or evil. God is all powerful and it is awe inspiring to know His words created everything. You are very kind! May the LORD bless you and your family!
Great video Sleeves! We love Vogel. It was the first camping trip for our family many years ago!
Hello! Thank you! Excellent! So cool this is a familiar spot and one that has great memories for you. Vogel State Park is indeed a fantastic place to take the family for a camping trip. I appreciate you! Thanks for watching! Take care and God bless you!
Nice Hike Sleeves! Glad you are still out exploring and taking us with you!
Hello! Thank you for the kind words! Still enjoying the trail and exploring new locations. You are still doing the same. Good Stuff! I appreciate you stopping by. Take care and Keep Hiking!
Always “ Good Stuff”! 🤓👍🏻✌️
Hello! I trust you guys are doing well and taking care of each other! Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by to watch. Hunting season is here. Enjoy! God bless you and your family! Keep Hiking!
It's good to have found your channel again after a few years, life happens. I've always enjoyed your trail talk . I need to get over to Vogel State Park because I am tired of Fort Mountain. That's where I usually go to try to keep active in between AT section hikes .
Hello. Man I am glad you stopped by. You are very kind. My trail talk is just whatever is on my mind. I try to make it a little thought provoking. Yes, Vogel State Park is a cool spot to explore and will definitely give you some good exercise. You are blessed to have access to Fort Mountain. Beautiful area indeed. If you get a chance head up into the Cohutta Wilderness. Some pretty rugged spots and will definitely prepare one for the AT. Cool that you are section hiking the AT. Enjoy every step on every hike. Take care and Keep Hiking! God bless you!
THis is a favorite training hike of mine. Quiet with a lot less people than the AT but challenging enough for a great training hike.
Hello! Yes, I can definitely see why this is a favorite training hike for you. It is challenging and a bit less crowded. I only saw one person on the entire loop. It is also a beautiful area. Keep Hiking and Training!
digging the long hair..reminds me of my hairband days..lol,,,the Civilian Conservation Corps did so many good things...it really should be reinstated to put young folks to work and to develop an appreciation of the glory of the wilderness amongst young folks. Great video and I like the reflections as well.....I don't let folks negativity affect me...that is a waste of time like spitting in the wind...it just comes right back to you..so I just focus on the positive and move on.
Hello! Thank you for stopping by. Laughing! Your hair comment makes me smile. Can’t beat a good hair band. Yes, you are correct the CCC did some wonderful things. My grandfather worked in the North Georgia mountains. It is sad to see so many young folks that never experience the outdoors. Excellent advice. One can’t let other’s negativity bring you down. All we can do is control our own response and thoughts. Indeed a waste of time to do otherwise. Take care and Keep Hiking!
This is our favorite state park. We go here every year at Christmas. The Kyles
Hello! It is so good to hear from you! Indeed, isn’t Vogel State Park special. Even though I spent most of the day hiking, I took the time to explore. The cabins and campsites looked very nice and well maintained. Definitely enjoyed walking along the stream and lake. I can see why you guys make this an annual Christmas excursion. Good Stuff! Thank you so much for stopping by. Take care and God Bless you and your family! Keep Hiking!
Nice park to enjoy God’s great outdoors.
Hello! Yes, it is a beautiful park and I enjoyed hiking through God’s creation. Such a peaceful hike. I appreciate you stopping by. Keep Hiking!
@@Sleeves Hey Sleeves, we may have an opportunity to return to Maui early next year and go back to IAO Valley. PTL!
Oh wow! What wonderful news! This is such a spectacular place. You are indeed blessed to be able to revisit this spot. I trust you will be able to explore some of the trails. Since you told me about the hiking trails, I have placed it high on my must visit list. Really looking forward to a video but understand if you want to keep it as a private visit. Keep Hiking!
no bear hair but some bear poop that's close enough haha !! great hike and nice trail talk too thanks for taking us along
Hello! I trust you and your family are doing well. Hope all of this rain is beneficial for you guys. Laughing! Yes, a little bear poop is definitely close enough. I appreciate your kind words. This trail was a nice challenging hike. Thank you for stopping by. Take care and may the LORD bless you!
@@Sleeves we are loving the Rain!! oh and feeling blessed like you would not believe lately/// something i dont mention much on my channel- we found some private land last year and by total Miracle a second parcel nearby became available in a tax sale. The first one is real nice but this second parcel is nothing short of Amazing due to the improved view and that there is stuff on it: a road and a shipping container, cement pads.. that this new one became available at this time, that i found a buddy to split it with, that we won it in a competitive auction/ was nothing short of miraculous. So yeah God has been incredibly benevolent with us lately. We have never felt more driven, these lands were meant for us to take care of/ we are the only owners on 2 square miles of empty private land, we are care taking for the other owners! we feel like our mission has been laid out for us
Wow and wow again! You guys are indeed blessed! I am always amazed at how God works in our lives. There are no coincidences. He orchestrated this and placed you in this position for a reason. Fulfill your dream and purpose in life. I can’t wait to hear how God works through you in this amazing adventure. Please keep me updated! Man I am so excited for you guys!
@@Sleeves thanks we got the first place june 2020, the second one july 2021 and are still totally in shock that we have this land... we're about 2 hours from vegas right along the freeway if you ever end up out this way it is very easy access... It's crazy how we were sent to this place, we were meant to be there.
That is so cool! I would love to check out your miracle property. Still have the PCT on my mind. Would love to hike with you one day. In God’s time praying it will happen.
Amen on the trail talk brother. We all need to work on that. I’m heading to Hiawassee in the morning and hope to do some short hikes with mi grandkids. I’ll be looking for you.
Hello! Yes, the old tongue has the power for good or evil……our choice. Cool! I trust you guys had a wonderful trip and enjoyed some of God’s amazing creation. Grandchildren are such a blessing! We must have just missed each other again. I was in Ellijay, Georgia hiking with my brother-in-law. Thank you for stopping by. May the Lord bless you and your family! Keep Hiking!
@@Sleeves had a great time. No serious hikes but saw a lot of great waterfalls.
I am so glad you guys had a wonderful time. Waterfalls are special. Definitely worth the effort to find them. Take care brother.
That was a serious hike. That’s a lot of up and down in a single day. Thank You for the wise words in your trail talk. The tongue is always there trying to get us in trouble for sure. I have had to bite mine often in recent weeks. Were you rocking the Amazon pants on this hike? Take care Sleeves and God bless.
Hello! I appreciate you stopping by. I trust you guys are doing well. Yes, it was a tough hike. Definitely worth considering an overnight. As a day hike one must hike at a pretty fast pace. Thank you for the kind words about trail talk. I am laughing because most of my talks deal with issues were I struggle. My tongue is hard to control. Thank goodness the LORD is with us to help. Yes, the pants from Amazon made this trip and again they held up nicely. Take care and may the LORD bless you and your family!
