| Itinerary: |
| We will meet at the East Palisades area parking lot off of Whitewater Creek Road. There is a $3 parking fee per vehicle.
We will begin our hike along the Chattahoochee River as we take in the sights and sounds of nature. Parts of the trail may be slightly steep, nothing too strenuous, but enough to get your heart rate up.
The trails cross and loop a few times as we make our way to a scenic overlook. Here, we'll stop to take in the view and take photos.
After spending some time enjoying the great views, we'll make our way back towards the parking lot and on the road before the traffic gets bad. |
