Itinerary:

Let's do this week's Beginners Welcome hike at a CNRA unit that is new to many.  Paces Mill, also known as West Palisades, offers some scenic woods and beautiful views of the Chattahoochee.    We'll take this hike at a moderate pace, so if you're free, please join us with no worries that we'll be going too fast!   If you haven't been to this area, we're sure you'll love the trails and the glimpses of East Palisades across the Chattahoochee.

There's a $3 parking fee at this location.  Be sure to have the correct amount in cash to purchase a parking tag if you don't have an annual pass.  

Please arrive at least 5 - 10  minutes before the hike is scheduled to start so you can check in, pay for parking (if you don't have an annual pass), and use the restroom. We will leave on time - - 10:00 am!

Bathroom facilities are available next to the parking lot.
