Itinerary:

I hope you will join me and Tatiana as we explore the wonderful trails of East Palisades. We'll be parking at the Indian Trail entrance, and plan to hike about 9 miles with about 3 ml/h speed. We will try to climb 5 hills, go through the bamboo forest, hike around the numerous trails, enjoy amazing views, and perhaps take in an awesome cave.

This is a strenuous hike, and you should be in good physical shape to perform it. If you sign up, please make sure you are able to hike about 3 miles per hour and climb steep hills.

We will start our hike promptly; please do not be late.

Please remember to bring $3 cash for the National Park Service parking fee, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass.

1425 Indian Trail NW, Sandy Springs, GA 30327

Required Items to Bring:
