SOME OF YOU EMAILED ME IN RESPONSE TO WANTING TO HIKE
REGARDLESS OF THE RAIN, SO WE WILL, JUST BRING YOUR RAIN
GEAR! ANYONE WHO DOESN'T, REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE
LIST, OR CALL ME IF AFTER 5PM IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT OR
DON'T HAVE RAIN GEAR.
We will hike approximately 5 miles at a moderate pace. The trail
follows the river for a while, ascends up over the bluffs and
back down to the river. There are many loops and switchbacks
on this branch of the Chattahoochee NRA, we will be stopping at
each
intersection so that no-one gets separated from our group.
Dogs are most welcome! The parking lot is small at this
location, try to arrive early to beat the other after work
hikers. Please remember to bring $3 for the National Park Service parking fee, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass. | |||||||
