Itinerary:

Join me for a hike at Stone Mountain. We'll be hiking many of the trails there -- the popular Cherokee and Connector trails, and also and a few of my favorites -- Nature, Hawk, Heron, and King's. We will not be going up, so dogs are welcome to join too.

There are a few hills, some rock scrambling, and creek crossings.  We will hike at a moderate pace of about 2.8 miles... going slower on rougher terrain... We'll make a couple of official stops for a water/bio break... and some shorter ones just to take in the lovely autumn weather.

Lets meet near the walk-up trail (at Confederate Hall park).

Plan to arrive a little early to find parking, use the facilities, and intros. We will begin the hike promptly at 9:30.


PARKING
Parking is $25 daily. If you plan to visit again, it would be worth it to purchase the annual pass for $40.

ALTERNATIVE PARKING
Free parking can be found about 1/2 mile outside the park in Stone Mountain Village. If you park in the village, make your way to the East Mountain walk-in gate. It will take you to the Confederate Hall parking lot.
