Itinerary:

Let's take a walk through downtown Atlanta and enjoy all it has to offer.

We will meet promptly at 9:30a.m. at the 14th Street gate in Piedmont Park.  This gate can be found at the intersection of Piedmont Road and 14th Street.  Please give yourself plenty of time to get here, especially if you are not familiar with the neighborhood.

There is plenty of paid parking near the meeting point. I like to park on the side streets near the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. There is a little pocket of free weekend parking that may be available. PLEASE give yourself plenty onf time and pay careful attention to the parking signs. Also, give yourself ample time to travel by foot from your parking spot to the meeting point. If you take MARTA to the park, the closest station is Arts Center.

We will do a little loop around Piedmont Park and onto the Beltline Section south.  http://beltline.org/trails/eastside-trail/ We will walk the Eastside Trail until Irwin Street, where we can stop at the Market grab snacks/lunch. After our stop at Irwin Street, we will double back along the Eastside Trail section we have hiked and reenter Piedmont Park on the 10th Street side, then walk back to the 14th Street gate that way.

The total distance will be around 7 miles.
