We had a wonderful day today as we explored the various sites of East Palisades.  The weather was just right and the paths were clear as we started out along the sandy beach-like area of the Chattahoochee.  A few female Mallard ducks greeted us, probably hoping one of us brought bread.  : )

After taking a couple of group shots, we made our way alongside the river.  As usual, there were several Canadian geese swimming, sunning, and splashing around in the nearby water. The views of the river were really nice, especially from the overlook.  

We enjoyed making our way through a bamboo jungle, and hung out atop a nice cliff for a while.  Then we marched up a couple of steep areas that really had our hearts pumping.  It felt great and we were thankful to spend this time outdoors!

It was a hike filled with interesting conversation, good people, and great weather.  And we finished in time to beat the traffic!
