Itinerary:

Well, I have been asked to lead a few D2 hikes at a leisurely to moderate pace. Hikes which are very suitable for beginners and for fellow AOC friends who want to get ready for some D3s or D4s.

Note: All hikes are rain or shine hikes, i.e. dress appropriately. We will of course not hike if there are thunderstorms likely.

So, here we go: Come join me on the trails at the Vickery Creek - Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. Vickery Creek is one of my favorite areas at the Chattahoochee river. We will stop at the Dam and at the Roswell Mill Machine Shop. Depending on the weather and the group, we may hike on some not so well known paths directly at the river.

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