Itinerary:

Join us for an after work hike at the Jones Bridge unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. This is a nice park with some good variety along the trail...we get the river views, hike up some small hills in the woods, through some nice open field and beside a lake. We may even see a few deer if we are lucky.

There is very little elevation change along the trail...about 400 feet of total ascent for the entire hike. We will stop for a snack break near the halfway point. The total distance should be approx 5 miles.

Sunset is at 8:35 pm, but the park doesn't close until 30 min after that, so we should have plenty of time to get back to our cars. If severe weather is forecast, the hike will be rescheduled.

Three dollar parking fee or Chattahoochee NRA annual parking pass required.

Required Items to Bring:
Appropriate clothing for weather
Walking shoes
