Itinerary:

Please join me for a private tour of the Chastain Horse Park.  It's one of the last two remaining urban barns in the United States. It is also home to nationally recognized therapeutic programs.

Please do not bring an umbrella into the horse barn area (in the event one is needed that day). The horses are afraid of them!

After the (approximate) one hour tour, we'll head over to Chastain Park's paved walking trail for a 3.3-mile hike.

Chastain Park is known for its beautiful residential neighborhood and you'll get to see some gorgeous homes on this hike. We'll also get views of the park's beautifully landscaped areas (flowers are blooming right now) a golf course, a baseball field, tennis center and a pool.

Please note: Our hiking path is relatively flat in some places, but there is some elevation (approximately 320 feet in elevation).

You must complete both parts of this event. If you can't complete both parts of this event (tour+hike) then please do not sign up. This event is designed for learning + exercise.

No dogs allowed on this event -- sorry!

Thank you!
