Itinerary:
Well there was so much interest in the Saturday new member hike that I decided to add this additional hike on Sunday. New members are welcome on this one as well, and it will be the same route and level of difficulty.

The Jones Bridge unit of the Chattahoochee NRA is one of the better northern metro area parks. Much of our hike will feature scenic views of the river...and a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods where deer have been known to frolic.

There is very little elevation change along the trail...not much more than about 500 feet of total ascent for the entire hike. We will stop for a long lunch break near the halfway point. Total distance should end up being between 5 and 6 miles...So even though it is a D2 (easy) hike, it will be long enough to get your heart rate up a bit and provide a moderate workout.
