Join us for a six mile hike along parts of the Atlanta Beltline, the Ansley Park neighborhood and Midtown. We are starting early in order to avoid the heat later in the day. We'll meet/start our hike in front of the U.S. Post office located at 415 Plasters Avenue, NE, Atlanta. From there, we'll hike south along the Atlanta Beltline near the Ansley Golf Club. We'll then leave the Beltline and hike through the historic Ansley Park neighborhood (first developed in 1904). This upscale neighborhood includes some of Atlanta’s most architecturally significant residences and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Once we complete our first pass of the Ansley Park neighborhood, we'll walk along Peachtree Street in Midtown toward Colony Square and pass some notable places along the way including the High Museum of Art. Once we reach Colony Square, we'll hike the same route back to our meeting point on Plasters Avenue. Do not sign up for this hike if you are a slow hiker. We will be in urban areas walking near traffic and I think it's too risky for a slow hiker to join us on this hike. Katherine is the club's social media manager, so we will stop at a few points along this hike to take photos. After our hike, there is an option to meet for coffee at a cafe near our parking spot. | |||||||
