Scott and Mindy taking a break along the Chattooga River Trail
I joined Mindy and the Professor (Scott Burns) for a shuttle hike along the Chattooga River Trail.
As usual, I was ahead of schedule so I made a few short stops along the way.

I met Scott and Mindy at the Whiteside Cove Trailhead on Whiteside Cove Road and we shuttled down to the Iron Bridge Trailhead on Bull Pen Road.
Since the shuttle drive took us right past Granite City, so we decided to explore around there a bit. This would be both Mindy and my first visit to Granite City! Fortunately Scott had been there before and was able to show us the way into the Heart of Granite City!

Granite City is an amazing place, but eventually we had to continue the shuttle down to the Iron Bridge to begin our hike up the Chattooga River Trail.
Here are some of the photos from our hike.
