Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Please join me for a hike at a Gwinnett County - Yellow River Park. I have hiked here before but never been a leader of a hike here, therefore Exploratory. We will hike between 7 and 8 miles - time should be just about three hours - mileage or time may be over/under.

Yellow River Park is located off Juhan Road, Stone Mountain, Georgia - it is just southeast of the Stone Mountain. The 566-acre park includes 12 miles of soft surface winding mountain bike, hiking and horse trails through the woods above the Yellow River. The park is known for the many “unofficial” trails that intersect with “official” trails, resulting in numerous trail intersections and making intersection management more than a little confusing. Many of the trails are multi-use - horses, bikes and hikers. some minor elevation - called a D3 due to distance not speed or elevation. We will be hiking at about 2.8 mph.

We are meeting in the 1st parking lot on Juhan, the one with the large playground.

Please arrive early in order to use restrooms and meet your fellow hikers.

Hike will start promptly at 10:30
