Itinerary: | |||||||
Time to start getting in quick afterwork hikes at Sweetwater Creek. We'll start promptly at 5:30 and hike until 7:30. We'll hike parts of either the new Blue, Orange and Yellow trails OR perhaps we'll cover much of the White and Red trails with a bonus visit to Waller's pond. I know my way all over the park so although I won't promise which trails we'll take, I can commit to getting us back to our cars ontime. We will not be stopping to take pictures and this may not be a good hike for a beginner to the club unless you already have hiking experience. *Some evenings we may decide to challenge ourselves and tackle a few of the steep elevation connector trails. Note: there is a $5 per vehicle parking fee if you do not already have a GA Parks State pass. No carpool for this event. http://www.gastateparks.org/Sweetwater | |||||||
