Write Up:

The hike started with a bit chilly and cloudy. We did introductions near Confederate Hall and started hiking in a counterclockwise direction. We hiked along the orange trail, connector trail, joining the green trail until it joined another orange connector trail connecting to the white trail or Cherokee Trail. We continued along Venable Lake until the trail returned to the mountain. We hiked across Washington W King Bridge and hiked the Kings Trail on Indian Island also in a counterclockwise direction.  Returning to the Cherokee Trail we stopped for a break at Grist Mill and returned to the parking lot

I would like to thank Harold for joining us on his fifth AOC Hike and Aaron for taking part in his sixth hike. I can’t forget to thank the rest of the group for how they welcomed our new member.

The question was asked about the hotels and golf course. I went to the Stone Mountain website. The old Marriot Resort is now the Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort and the old Marriot Inn is now The Inn at Stone Mountain Park, the Championship Golf Courses and The Commons Restaurant are still open.
