Itinerary: |
Join me for a great afternoon of hiking along the West Palisades! Although we begin hiking along a concrete path, we soon switch to dirt path as we enter the woods. I plan to keep a moderate pace to keep the heart rate up. There are some elevation changes as well, so please wear supportive hiking boots/shoes.
This section of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area is quite scenic. There is a lot of wildlife throughout the park. You may spot a blue heron quietly standing along the riverbank, or a red tail hawk soaring high above.
The National Park Service has also been spotted here performing a trout release as they help replenish the native fish population.
You're welcome to bring your well-behaved canine friend. Leash and clean up laws are enforced. Please be respectful of your fellow hikers. |
