Itinerary:
This loop first follows the shores of the Chattahoochee River and then climbs the cliffs above it, offering a spectacular view of the rapids below. Although there is overlap with my other East Palisades hike, it follows a different route and is entirely within the park. The walking distance is about 4.5 miles.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Good hiking shoes and plenty of water.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:From downtown Atlanta drive north on I 75 to Exit 256. At the bottom of the ramp take a right on Mt. Paran. After about 0.2 miles take a left onto Sentinel Post. Proceed 0.4 miles on Sentinel Post and turn right onto Whitewater Creek. After a further 0.4 miles you will see the park entrance on your left. Proceed to the trail parking at the end of the road.
