Vickery Creek - Mill Side Fitness Hike & (optional) Moxie Burgers

Spring fever is in the air!  No need for a mask because this is one fever you want to catch! The weather is warming up, and the sun is setting later and later (around 6 pm) so I’m starting this hike so we can finish while it is still light enough to see the trail. Hopefully, you can take a break from work early enough to join me at the Vickery Creek trail beginning on the mill-side of the park.

Or…feel free to join me at Moxie Burger around 6:15 pm to enjoy a burger (insert salad, brew, or whatever you eat/drink here) and friendly conversation even if you can’t make the hike. This is a fantastic way to enjoy the weather and meet other folks in the club. And…since we ARE a hiking club, no D3 credit will be given but you can’t beat the company and the food!

We will meet at the Vickery Creek parking lot at 95 Mill St, Roswell, GA 30075. Drive down the hill all the way to the end of Mill Street, passing the Roswell Mill Club buildings to get to the parking lot. The hike starts and ends at the parking lot (not down by the covered bridge!) Parking is free and there are restrooms available near this parking lot.

We will need to start the hike promptly at 4:00 pm! Please arrive a few minutes early to check in and use the restroom if needed. Yes, you must go down the hill towards the covered bridge and back up again before we start if you need to use the facilities. Just consider it a good warmup! If you're running late or can't make it at the last minute, please call or text me at 678-764-8516 to avoid a dreaded “no show” mark on your profile.

This is not a beginner hike; it is a fitness hike. 

We hike at a fast pace with only a few short breaks for water. I do not have a sweep! If you fall behind, unless you're injured, you will be on your own and will not get credit for the hike. You can still meet us at Moxie Burger if you survived and are still hungry...or just need some moral support!  You should have previous D2 Fast hike or D3 Fast hike experience to do this hike.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOCK ALL VALUABLES IN YOUR TRUNK and OUT OF SIGHT!

See you on the trail!

We are meeting down the hill from the shops at the Roswell Mill Center where the parking is free.  It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect.  Keep driving down Mill Street until you get to the big parking lot at the very bottom of the hill.  For a zoomable map or satellite view of that spot click the rectangular blue and green "event location" icon near the top of this event write-up.
