Itinerary:

This hike is for anyone who could not make it for the earlier hike and wants to hike Memorial Day.

I hope that you will join me. This is a beautiful trail, with a cave, bamboo forest, rocks, schoals, and other great sights to see. There will also be a couple of steep hills, but do not let that stop you as challenge is good when you have an awesome group to hike with!

However, this hike is not for beginners D2 hikers and higher please!

Plan to hike around 7-8 miles at a moderate pace,  but not my ultra fast pace. We will have fun and enjoy the sights, hiking with others and getting our exercise in! 

 We are parking at the Indian Trail entrance in which the road in is gravel, narrow and dusrty so allow a few extra minutes.   

    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
