Itinerary:

 

OK, my friends and fellow hikers.  We did the” Six at Six O’clock”  D2 hikes.  What’s next? Yes, you are right, “Five at Five O’ clock”. These hikes will be D3 hikes, meaning we’ll most probably do some rock scrambling or narrow path traversing depending on the terrain.  No worries, it won’t be too difficult.


Come and join me on the trails at Whitewater Creek (East Palisades) - Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. The East Palisades is surrounded by some of the Georgia's wealthiest homes. We meet at the entrance "Whitewater Trail" and then hike along the shore and "over the hills and far away" until the Overlook. From there to the "The Devil's Race Course Shoals", which were named by early river boatmen because the shoals were the "devil" to navigate, continuing to the only "Bamboo Forest" in Atlanta ... and then back.

If you have any questions e-mail the Event Coordinator.
