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 Jones Bridge Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. While not as well-known as some of the other branches of the Chattahoochee NRA, Jones Bridge has an excellent system of trails which can be combined to many miles hiking. Much of our hike will be along the river, but a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods. There will be a few hills you will need to climb but nothing with over a 150 foot elevation gain. 

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

Turn left on Barnwell Rd, and travel approx. 2 miles to Jones Bridge Branch which will be on the right. Turn in and go a little over 1/2, you will see a parking lot at your right SKIP that one and continue...the road will end into another parking lot. This is where we will meet.
