Johns Mountain Loop
Georgia's classic short loop: the Johns Mountain Trail circles the mountain on its own, touching the Pinhoti once at Mile 245.1 beside Keown Falls. Add the short Keown Falls Trail off the Pinhoti (Miles 246.1-246.3) to stand under the falls themselves.
Start: Keown Falls / Johns Mountain junction (Pinhoti Mile 245.1). The orange line is the full loop — hike it either direction. Distances and climbing are computed from the mapped trails and elevation data, so treat them as close estimates, not survey numbers.

Places below are mapped on the loop's Pinhoti stretch (Miles 245.1–246.3). The side trails don't have mapped waypoints in the app yet — the reports layer is how that changes.
